As I mentioned the last time this was posted, the article title is clickbait. The actual ban only applies to children under six. That is to say, hardly any of them. Parents of older children will be fined.
"Children up to the age of six years will be excluded from nursery and kindergarten without proof of vaccination under the new rules.
Those aged between six and 16 cannot be banned from attending school, but their parents face fines if they do not complete the mandatory course of immunisations."
- LoSboccacc 8y agothere's a reason however: the limitation comes from our constitution and changing that requires a supermajority that hardly any government had in the last decades. Art. 34. La scuola è aperta a tutti. L'istruzione inferiore, impartita per almeno otto anni, è obbligatoria e gratuita. "(public) schooling is open to everyone" "primary instruction, covering at least eight years, is mandatory and free of charge" there's both the right and the mandate to get all children into school, changing that is something that has been evaluated and still under discussion because it will be very hard to put an amendment in there that's both general enough to cover the issue at hand but not so generic that it might be exploited in the future.
- franch 8y agoAs an Italian I don't want that article changed for ANY reason. The possibility to exploit any conditionality in art.34 both as an excuse to avoid mandatory education and for privatization of the public school system is really too high. Public schooling must remain free and mandatory without any exemption or special case.
- tomjen3 8y agoThat is actually an interesting case, if you have a child with severe immunity deficiency, should you be forced to send them to a public school with vaccinated children?
