In the city of Calabria in the previous year's record admitted with 93 per cent. Da Brescia a Reggio Calabria. So Gelmini became a lawyer. The enrollment exam in 2001. Education Minister: "I had to work right away."
Ninety percent admitted to oral! How can you resist the temptation? And so, one of the scoundrels who in 2001 came down from the deep North to take the exams as a lawyer in Reggio Calabria also slipped Mariastella Gelmini. Unaware of the controversy that, in the role of minister, was raised with (right) sermons on the need to restore the credit and the reporting of conditions in which the Southern schools. Schools disastrous in the charts "scientific" in spite of international generosity with which end of the year is almost all promoted.
The news, just for the amazing trail of controversy on the preparation, permissiveness, the need for refresher courses, the backgrounds of the professors of the South, controversies that have seen battle on either front, most of intelligences Italian, was given in his column on laStampa.it by Flavia Amabile. The reaction of Internet users who have caught it is easy to imagine. One for all, that of Peppino Calabrese: 'A little dignity minister resigns! "You say, may be all right? The answer is the same blog of journalist. Where Gelmini admits. He explains his reasons.
a step back. It was 2001. Mariastella, the rising star of Forza Italy, Desenzano chairman of the City Council but not yet released as a Councillor for the Territory of the province of Brescia, Lombardy Regional Council, coordinator for the blue Lombardy, is a young and ambitious law graduate who faces one of the most delicate step: the state exam.
to become a lawyer, it is not enough graduation. Should join the roll of practicing attorneys, spent two years in a lawyer's office, "beating" the courts to gain experience, pick up gradually on a book of stamps clerks establish that actual attendance at hearings and ultimately overcome the fact 'examination held annually in the regional offices of the courts of appeals with a written test (three areas: criminal, civil and judicial practice) and a (higher) oral examination. A real obstacle. To which dashed hopes, on average, half of the competitors. The national average, however, and that is not true. Traditionally difficult in large part of the northern sites, with peaks of 94% rejected, the examination is in fact easy or even easier in some southern locations.
An example? Catanzaro. Where in the nineties the 'esamificio "gradually becomes an industry. The approximately 250 people in the five city hotels are blocked several months in advance, was bed & breakfast for pilgrims judicial re-open in mid-winter villages on the coast and sometimes propose a package "all-included": room, breakfast, dinner and went back to the minibus home exam. But on the eve of the turn of the scandal broke out Gelmini fake examination at the site of Appeals Catanzaro. Investigation of the judiciary: 2295 as they did on 2301 participants, to do exactly the same task even identical, in many cases with the same error ("flatly" instead of "precisely" with the 'p' original deleted) as if it was correct to Flight who was dictating the solution? Hot controversy. Commissioners in the trenches: "The candidates - President vows' court," lawyer Francesco Granata - had lost all self-control, they were like crazy. " "As it wants to go? - Says one of the competitors anonymously tricksters -. Enter a commissioner and says, "Write." It begins to dictate the theme. Bello and done. Slowly. To enable everyone to not lose the thread. "
The controversies have been dragging on for months and months to the point that the Berlusconi government sees no alternative: we must reform the system with which they do these tests. A couple of years and will be launched in 2003, for future sessions, a new rule: the exams will be judged by drawing lots, the fees so that the tasks can be corrected in Liguria, Puglia and Friuli in the Sardinian and so on. Reform sacrosanct. Already in the first year overturn established traditions: the aspiring lawyers Lombard for example, assessed by examination of Commissioners in Naples, will double their share of the eligible 30 to 69%. By contrast, examined at Brescia Messina will be cut by 34% Ancona reggini or 37%. As Catanzaro, record came after some 94% of promoted here is the breakdown: a fifth of those admitted earlier.
In those months of torment between 2000 and 2001, the Gelmini was placed at the point, explain to Flavia Amabile: "My family could not afford to keep me too long to study, my father was a farmer. I had to start working and then I had to pass the exam to obtain a license to practice. " So? "The feeling was that there was a ceiling of 30% which included the children of lawyers and other lucky few who managed to pass the exam every year. For others, nothing. There was a logic of caste, fortunately later modified because the system has been completely revised. " And so, "along with 30-40 other friends very disaffected by this situation, we decided to go for the examination in Reggio Calabria." The results of the session of 2000, moreover, were encouraging. Despite the scandal broke, the capital of Calabria had been admitted to the Italian record of oral: 93.4%. Three times that in Brescia in the Gelmini (31.7) and Milan (28.1), four times that in Ancona. Eligible Final: 87% of the initial members. Compared to 28% of Brescia, Milan 23.1%, 17% of Florence. Total: 806 eligible. Five and a half times those of New York: 144. How Marche, Umbria, Basilicata, Trentino, Abruzzo, Sardegna and Friuli Venezia Giulia combined.
short, The temptation was strong. Education Minister says: "Many kids were there and we decided to do it too." Moreover, he adds, she has "a long association with the South Part of my family has relatives in Cilento. Sure, it's almost five hundred kilometers from Reggio. But South always is. And the exam? How was the exam? "Absolutely smooth." Not strict, we say, not even in that session. Almost 57% admitted to oral. Twice that in Rome or Milan. Almost three times that in Brescia. Behind only the usual Catanzaro, Caltanissetta, Salerno. So did they all said Mariastella Gelmini. From today, after the discovery that she has slipped between the scoundrels who attempted the examination easy, however, will be a bit 'more difficult to rely on the recovery, the severity, the educational importance of a school that knows how to gain respect. All right battles. Absolutely right. But even those who share the choices on the apron, seven in the conduct, the imposition of civic education and even the need to play around with courage to the school from the south, can not but wonder: would not be less difficult battles even if engages those who had not sought the easy shortcut?
