The Fish and Fand applying for urgent and mandatory actions to enhance the quality of school inclusion of students con disabilità

La Riforma scolastica ha prodotto condizioni tali da ostacolare il processo di inclusione scolastica degli alunni con disabilità, in contrasto sia con la Costituzione che prevede la “rimozione degli ostacoli”, sia con quanto affermato dalle Linee Guida del MIUR. L’intero sistema scolastico appare così gravemente compromesso da scelte pedagogicamente miopi.
Per questo, le associazioni aderenti alla Fand e alla Fish, seriamente preoccupate e indignate per la precaria situazione determinatasi all’avvio dell’anno scolastico in corso, sono a rinnovarle richiesta d’incontro in quanto evidenziano e denunciano:
- classi sovraffollate in cui è iscritto un incredibile numero of students with disabilities, as well as excessive cuts in hours of educational support, even in regions such as Lazio and Lombardy in which the relationship between teachers and support pupils with disabilities is less than the legal national average of 1 to 2 (the allocation was determined only by the logic accountancy contrary to the law based on the actual individual needs of each student with a disability);
- the need of families to go to court to defend the right to education of their children (growing number of judicial decisions about the increase in hours of support);
- lack of training of the teachers in service and curricular school leaders, nonché dei numerosi docenti operanti su posto di sostegno privi di titolo;
- ritorno a prassi illegali con la ricostituzione di classi differenziali di fatto, per sopperire a carenze economiche o di personale docente;
- eccessivo utilizzo di attività laboratoriali, divenute, di fatto, un pretesto per escludere ed emarginare l’alunno disabile dal contesto classe;
- elevato tourn-over che contrasta la continuità educativo-didattica e superficialità con cui vengono introdotte “norme” che interferiscono in ambito pedagogico-didattico (per es. nella scuola primaria la valutazione numerica impedisce di riconoscere le diversità dei singoli alunni);
- assenza di logica nell’assegnazione teacher support, with specific reference to the pupil's disability;
- lack of uniformity and guidelines to standardize care services (basic, specialized for sensory and communication) throughout the country;
- inaction of the Ministry of Education on art. 24 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
also be noted that where we proceeded to a systematic collection of data, it was possible to ascertain the effective and widespread consistency of hundreds of cases involving large classes in which they were included more students with disabilities (see the survey carried out by the Regional Education in the region). In
highlight that during the Intergovernmental Conference on Disability held in Turin on 2 and 3 October, there was a total absence of both the issues of inclusive education of students with disabilities is the level of participation and political leadership of the Ministry Education, in light of the reported Fand and Fish
ASK
that the Hon. Minister wants to give concrete answers to the following operational requirements, made several times and remained unanswered until now:
1. compliance with the DPR 81/09 about the maximum number of pupils in classes for pupils with disabilities and providing for exemptions for permits for the art. 2 paragraph 6 of that decree;
2. No recovery of DM 141/99 about the upper limit of students with disabilities who may be present in each class;
3. Added nell'emanando DPR on initial training of secondary school teachers of grade I and II of No 32 credits relating to the education of students with disabilities, since it is essential adequate training on issues of inclusiveness for those who are faced with classes characterized by complexity and heterogeneity;
4. agreements with the union Ministry of Education introducing compulsory training and updating in service for all teachers and managers FISH School Sprit in relation to socio-psycho-pedagogical and didactic educational integration, as well as the mandatory in-service training for employees and for employees to assist school pupils with toilet disabilities;
5. innovation and change in teacher training programs of support;
6. introduction of a policy to recognize and support good practice and innovative projects created by schools in inclusive education of disabled students;
7. immediate action aimed to stop all practices that effectively implement special classes or groups workshop or reserved only for students with disabilities or together with these most fragile students. This is in implementation of the ministerial guidelines of August 4, 2009;
8. adoption of legislation that guarantees respect for the continuity of education-education for the period corresponding to the order of school attended at least for the support of the teachers are teaching them that a time limit specified;
9. support and more explicit than the ministerial recommendations contained in the 2005 guidelines on the definition of interventions for students who require the assistance of medication during school hours.
The Fish also called for answers on requests and proposals formulated in the document and sent officially by the same MIUR on June 16, 2009, which we refer. To this end, if the points therein can not be provided answers pv November 4, requests that are made up of working groups composed of ministry officials and experts from the associations in order to find in a short time working proposals to be submitted to Mr. . Minister.
member associations to Fand and FISH expect clear answers and compelling than the issues listed. They indicated that it is not deemed to be unlikely as the possibility of legal action by families through:
a) complaint to the Fire Department about the application of the rules on security overcrowded classrooms;
b) claim under the L. No. 67/06 on the discrimination arising from the excessive number of students with disabilities placed in the same class;
c) complaint to constitute Monitoring Committee, established at the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, for defaults in relation to Article . 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ratified and enforced by L. March 3, 2009, n. 18).
