The original article requires translation.

Even insiders seem to like the hypothesis that has been circulating for over a month on the next high school leaving examination: the " steps forward " mentioned by the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi at the end of November, confirmed a few days later by the undersecretary of 'Education Barbara Floridia (" the exam will be different from last year, if the pandemic allows it we will try to go back to a traditional exam"), receive the consent of the principals.

This is a stance that cannot go unnoticed. Because if it is true that within a month we will know how things stand, with the announcement of the choices made in Viale Trastevere, also based on the trend of infections from Covid, the topic closely affects half a million graduates.

The first test
According to Mario Rusconi, president of the Rome PNA , it is necessary to take a bath of realism: "we must take into account the current pandemic situation and the previous one".

"Hoping that teaching can be done in the classroom as much as possible, even if Dad should not be considered absolute evil - said Rusconi to Adnkronos - I think it is right to consider the precariousness of these last three years of school life, for to which I would perhaps suggest only the written test of Italian so that the children can express their moods and their feelings ".

At the oral exam we will talk about the writing not done
Again according to the NPC trade unionist, the multidisciplinary interview should always be carried out in a guided way: it is "the oral exam which, like last year's, starting from a paper prepared by individual students on topics indicated by their curricular teachers", it touches all the disciplines of the last school year.

In that session, moreover, the students will discuss a specific topic of address, which they should have faced in the second written exam.

Confirmed commissions
Rusconi then hopes to confirm the setting up of the 2021 Commissions : “like last year, they can be composed of curricular teachers with the presence of the president of the external Commission. After all - concluded the number one of Anp Roma - a teacher who has had a student in class for two, three, four or five years will certainly know him well and will be able to evaluate him as a whole, after all he does it daily during the lessons " .

New submission scores
On the direct impact of credits (increased), of the averages of evaluations and Pcto experiences of the last three years on the candidate's presentation grade , there could be some news: the probable carrying out of a written test, in fact, would reduce the numerical range compared to the maxi one introduced on the occasion of the high school leaving certificate of the last school year.

Politicians also "push"
Meanwhile, even the politicians are shuddering and demanding answers. A few days ago Gabriele Toccafondi , Renziano doc and member of the Culture Commission for Italia Viva, said that "the exam is not a lottery: if the conditions are right, do it as established by law, otherwise do it like last year".

The same Matteo Renzi warned Education Minister on the possibility of changing the tables just a few months from the evidence: "Boys and professors need certainty, you can not change your mind on the examination in January for next June," the former prime minister told Corriere della Sera.
