– The CEI challenges the judgment of the Supreme Court, which has recognized the legitimacy of the request of ICI by the municipality of Livorno to schools run by religious organizations. A decision “dangerous”, say the bishops, which severely limits “the guarantee of freedom of education. And the secretary general of the Bishops’ Conference Nunzio Galantino says:” Do not you realize the work they do public schools equal. “
According to Galantino this judgment is dictated by ideological reasons. But you would consider a number of important factors. For example, says Galantino to ADN, which a million and 300 thousand students attend private schools. What this institution for the state allocates 520 million euro but save 6 billion and a half. And then, he adds, not just about Catholic schools.
And the judges said: “If there are realities of the Catholic Church who do not pay taxes, are reported. But sentences like this are purely ideological. “
The Minister Giannini:” Need to Think “ – The story is then intervened Education Minister Stefania Giannini. The Judges, he explained, they say “there is a different treatment” between public and equal “because they are different institutions.” “I think maybe there’s a reflection to do,” he added after pointing out that in regions such as Veneto, without equal, state and region “would be in huge economic and structural difficulties”.
In Veneto, he explained Giannini, “67% of early childhood education and primary school is covered by private schools.”
On the sidelines of the signing in the Palace of the Region of Valle d’Aosta of a Memorandum of Understanding on educational reform, the Minister stressed that the ruling concerns a “chapter that is not my relevance, therefore I do not comment on the merits “.
He then explained that” our decision does not intervene on certain issues affecting local governments and schools. It operates on another principle, from my point of view, much more fundamental, that of freedom of educational choice, with, for charity, symbolic, say, possibility ‘of recognition to families who either choose or are sometimes forced to choose. ”
More generally, he stressed, “the issue of private schools from my point of view – the law reflects this point of view that is not only mine, is the governing majority – must be addressed in a framework also European reference. Italy did 15 years ago, with a beautiful law signed by Berlinguer that so summarize: ‘The Italian Republic has a national public, state and non-state. It ‘an integrated system of education, a system that the state is committed obviously in different ways, to develop and not to decline’. “
