“The right to education is not guaranteed for everyone” and “Dad proved it”. This was said by Maria Luisa Serra, regional secretary general of the CISL Scuola Sardegna, during her speech at the VII Regional Congress in Cagliari in front of the national assistant general secretary of the CISL Scuola, Ivana Barbacci, and the regional secretary general Gavino Carta.
"Distance learning - added Serra -, as a necessary and formidable tool to maintain contacts with the school and for the continuation of studies, has determined a series of consequences of significant importance, both among adolescents and among university students who have faced forced confinement in solitude ".
And it is the numbers that make the phenomenon understood: “Recent studies by the Universities of Cagliari and Sassari calculate that children in Sardinia spend 79% of their time on social media or more than four hours a day, that is 120 hours in a month. In 90% of cases, social networks are the only way for them to keep in touch with each other even if 74% claim that they still leave them alone. In a survey carried out in May 2021, 81% of young people confessed to having unpleasant sensations, that is, to feel agitated, ready to break everything, unmotivated and helpless ".
"Even early school leaving is the logical consequence of this problematic right to study for many young people, depending on their territorial origin - the union said -: 23% of Sardinian young people aged between 18 and 24 do not have a diploma, he only holds a middle school license (Italian average at 12%). It ranges from a dispersion peak of around 50% in the province of Nuoro to 10% in the province of Oristano ".
