Education, Valditara: green light for talks with students to shape the future

A working group at the Ministry of Education and Merit, comprising teachers, representatives of student councils, technical experts and scientists, to define the strategy for the school of the future. The proposal put forward by the student councils was welcomed by Minister Giuseppe Valditara, who addressed the closing event of the ‘Next Generation AI – International Summit on Artificial Intelligence in Schools’ via video link. The summit is currently taking place at the Villa Erba conference centre in Cernobbio, in the province of Como.

“I welcome your proposal to set up a technical working group at the Ministry, comprising teachers, representatives of the student councils – and therefore students themselves – as well as technical experts and scientists. A working group that will enable us to define the strategy for the school of the future: please consider it already accepted and up and running”, said Valditara, addressing the student delegations gathered on Lake Como.
“‘I believe you have demonstrated how positive and constructive reflection, and critical discussion capable of putting forward proposals, are the tools for a school system that knows how to make its voice heard, highlight problems, but also offer solutions,’ added the Minister, emphasising the value of dialogue and respect: “A school capable of dialogue and founded on respect – an issue that is, for me, extraordinarily relevant and important”.
