Education, Meloni: it must reward merit; no to a race to the bottom

“Guiding the younger generations means helping them to understand the changes of our time, to learn about the opportunities offered by the professions of the future, and to acquire the skills needed to tackle the challenges of a constantly evolving society.” This was stated by the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, at the second edition of ‘OrientaTalenti’.
“But above all,” she adds, “it means recognising and nurturing each individual’s talents, inclinations and aspirations. Because every young person must be able to find their own path, fully express their abilities and contribute, through their commitment and ideas, to making Italia an ever-stronger, freer nation that takes charge of its own future.”
“This,” the Prime Minister emphasises, “is the idea that also guides the Government’s actions: to build a school system that rewards merit, recognises commitment and teaches the value of responsibility and respect. A school system that does not resign itself to a race to the bottom, but one that recognises achievements, supports those in difficulty and offers everyone the tools to realise their ambitions”.
