Covid-19: Italy's high school students demand return to classroom
11 Jan, 2021
Italy's education minister says that remote learning "is not working any more."
Students and teachers of Italian high schools are protesting in Rome and elsewhere in Italy on 11 January to demand a safe return to the classroom and an end to distance learning.
Only three of Italy's 20 regions - Abruzzo, Tuscany and Valle d'Aosta - will see their high school students return to class today, where 50 per cent of lessons will resume in the classroom.
Remote learning remains in place 100 per cent in all other regions whose leaders have chosen to postpone the reopening of their high schools to dates varying from 18 January to 1 February.
