"In 2015 the Government put into operation 90 hours of unpaid and compulsory child labor for the benefit of companies - says student Alex - known as school-work alternation".
Several associations were also in the square. Francesca Solinas, 23, of the Domu de totus association, affirms "that in the face of a government light years away from the needs of Sardinian students, it is a duty to go out into the streets". The data of the island school are however alarming: in Sardinia the school dropout rate is 23%.
The condition of the transport also does not help. Lorenzo, 17, talks about his day as a commuter. "Every day I take a bus to go to school - he comments - without any social distancing or protection. I arrive in the classroom and I am forced to remain seated for 5 hours in a row in a classroom overcrowded ". For the Ministry of Education, on the other hand, only 3% of the classes are supernumerary.
