The project entitled "Futura - La scuola per l'Italia di domani" ("Future - The school for tomorrow's Italy") was presented a few days ago at the Triennale di Milano. The guidelines for the correct design of school buildings with funds allocated by the PNRR were presented at a conference attended by Education Minister Patrizio Bianchi and members of the group responsible for drawing up and drafting the document: architect Stefano Boeri, Andrea Gavosto, Director of the Giovanni Agnelli Foundation, architect Cino Zucchi and architect Luisa Ingaramo, Compagnia di San Paolo.
These are the key points that have been presented for the school of the future (full text here):
The absence of a point devoted to cleanliness and healthy environments among the guidelines that will have to guide the design of the schools of the future is a serious and worrying lack. Even today, teachers, school staff and students spend a large part of their days in schools that are unsafe and unclean because of problems that are known to all.
The funds allocated under the National Research Programme should be an opportunity to rethink the schools of the future in all their aspects. We wonder, therefore, how it was possible to leave out the issue of cleanliness and healthiness of the environment, especially after two years of pandemic.
In order to have truly clean school facilities, it is necessary to act right from the design stage, without neglecting anything and without making the mistake of thinking that a household appliance can play the same role as a central vacuum system when it comes to the cleanliness and healthiness of the environment.
We trust, therefore, that those in charge will once again put the health of those who live in school facilities first by adding an eleventh point to this incomplete decalogue before it is too late.
So much for PNRR and School of the Future. The pandemic has taught nothing to the 'best' who forget the role of dust in the environment.
The 2021-22 school year has begun throughout Italy, but not all school facilities are able to comply with the protocol published by the Ministry of Education to ensure safe school environments.
In kindergartens timely cleaning is essential because in the large rooms where children move and play there are many places where they can come into contact with dirt and bacteria.
Hygiene in schools and kindergartens is essential to prevent the uncontrolled proliferation of germs and bacteria.
