funds for school autonomy: only six million euro for the integration of disabled pupils

SOURCE: FLC-CGIL
The Circular of MIUR n . 13 8 February 2011 to allocate funds USR Law 440/97 for the financial year 2010.
14/02/2011
E 'was published Circular No. 13 of that MIUR divide the funds allocated to the Law 440/97 "initiatives aimed at strengthening and qualification of the education of students with disabilities, with particular regard to pupils with sensory deficit" between the regional education offices and provides suggestions for the Ministry of Education the use thereof.
The Circular suggests that funds are allocated to initiatives by schools to
projects for the innovation of teaching methods and organization that, thanks to new technologies and perform their activities inside the classroom for the development of skills and social skills of students with disabilities;
situations of particular complex projects which involve the continuation of networking between schools and between schools, local authorities and associations, including with the involvement of local centers of support for disability (CTS);
projects that implement procedures, best practices for the life of the project 'student with disabilities, in particular the institution of alternate scuolalavoro;
strengthening school-family relations;
development of networks of schools connected to the Schools Polo CTS or through the creation of websites, the network of forums and through the establishment of working groups in the network, also involved in monitoring and identifying the needs of schools.
Suggestions per la formazione del personale, anch’essi a carico dei fondi ripartiti agli USR, sono:
potenziamento attività di formazione teso a diffondere fra i docenti curricolari la cultura dell’integrazione, con particolare riguardo alla relazione educativa che si instaura con gli alunni con disabilità;
acquisizione o potenziamento di metodologie didattiche specializzate per migliorare le opportunità di formazione degli alunni con disabilità, anche mediante le nuove tecnologie;
attività di formazione per la diffusione della conoscenza del modello ICF dell’OMS con particolare riguardo alla sua applicazione nella scuola.
Per i Centri territoriali di Supporto la Circolare suggerisce che si utilizzino le risorse, "Taking into account the strategic role they may have in order to achieve a genuine process of inclusive education and the development of concrete practices of inclusive education, to implement:
CTS coordination between projects on a regional and interregional activities
Upgrade to the actual operating within the CTS;
diffusion of knowledge and familiarity with the expansion of the integration of assistive technology for teachers and curriculum specialists, in particular with regard to products produced by the action 6 of the project "New Technology and Disability ";
experimental projects to identify teaching methods inclusive che coinvolgano le nuove tecnologie;
acquisto di software e hardware per l’ampliamento delle dotazioni tecnologiche ed informatiche dei Centri Territoriali di Supporto al fine di potenziare le opportunità di apprendimento e di integrazione scolastica degli alunni con disabilità.

Le valutazioni della FLC CGIL
Per i fondi assegnati agli Uffici Scolastici Regionali, ove siano utilizzati per pagare prestazioni aggiuntive al personale, debbono essere seguite le procedure previste dall’art. 6 CCNL.
I fondi assegnati sono:
€ 5.828.450,00 per la progettualità delle scuole o di reti di scuole
€ 450.000,00, per i Centri Territoriali di Supporto
Considerato that schools are more than 10,000 and are 96 local centers of support, and on average each school will be allocated about 500 € while the CTS it will be about 4,500, and considered that pupils with disabilities are still about 185,000 and each of them funding is 33 €, it would gain the MIUR, even without waiting for the monitoring and verification of the results (provided in the Circular), suggest to the Government so that you can not go forward.
We had already denounced the progressive reduction of the resources of the Law 440/97, on the occasion of a presentation of the Directive and, along with the request to restore the necessary funding, we put forward proposals for their timely assigned to schools.
Those resources were further reduced to a use that has nothing to do with the improvement and expansion of training by schools.
Now repeat, on an aspect as important as that of the education of students with disabilities who need to change.
The country needs a change, knowledge is the future, stop the return to the past.
