At Vinitaly underway in Verona, Premier Giorgia Meloni launches the idea of a " made in Italy high school ". A course of study in which international law , economics , marketing and protection of Italian products will gradually be added to traditional subjects such as Italian and mathematics.

"In Italy in recent years - said the Minister for Tourism Daniela Santanchè - what was once the "technical institute" has been somewhat destroyed, which is instead very important, also for tourism, because we have had a left that encouraged young people to go to high school. Instead, this government wants to put technical schools at the center». "The vision of the government - he added - is not to give state pocket money to young people, but to give them work, because work is dignity".

And the Prime Minister, during the meetings with the students of the agricultural institutes, said: "For me this is high school, because there is nothing more profoundly linked to our culture". And then the announcement of the new course of study. «Our food, wine and agriculture - observed Meloni - are a fundamental piece of our economy, but they work if we have the ability to put together tradition on ancient culture of centuries and innovation, modernity. And this can be done especially by the younger generations. We support this objective with investments and a series of measures».

According to Cecilia D'Elia , group leader in the culture commission of the Senate, and the former group leader at Palazzo Madama Simona Malpezzi : «Daniela Santanchè declares that this government will strengthen the technical institutes, saying that the "left" wanted to dismiss everything (she lost the Moratti reform of the 8 high schools), Prime Minister Meloni contradicts it and announces that she will establish the Made in Italy high school. This government has no ideas on education and launches empty and contradictory slogans ». The criticisms of the M5s are no less: «The dualism between technical institutes and high schools that Giorgia Meloni spoke about today represents an old way of thinking about school. The idea of creating a "made in Italy" high school is yet another propaganda stunt, when instead it is essential to valorise new specialized technical figures with the involvement and networking of companies».

Nicola Fratoianni , on the other hand, is ironic about the Prime Minister's use of an English term: "Fperse Rampelli will want to fine her", with an allusion to the bill by the FdI exponent which aims to fine the use of strangers. As for the Made in Italy high school, it is not just an idea, because on January 25 the head of the Fdi school, Carmela Bucalo, filed a bill in the Senate to establish it. The logic of the high school, rather than the technical institute, he explained, is that the necessary skills require a solid humanistic foundation (for example the history of art) alongside more technical teachings. On Tuesday 11 April, the votes of two motions of the M5s (first signature of Anna Laura Orrico) and of the Pd (Irene Manzi) are scheduled in the Chamber in the Chamber, to stop the government measures on school sizing, which in the opinion of the oppositions would lead to the closure of hundreds of schools.
