Prof in trincea /3: Italiani in minoranza. Milano, la scuola con il 70 per cento di alunni stranieri

Stories of teachers who struggle every day to do their jobs. In remote and abandoned areas. With "difficult" students. Who have to contend with students and parents. Who are attacked and bullied. But who carry on anyway, with passion, despite it all. And who, sometimes, manage to save a child. In Milan, there's a school where 7 out of 10 children are immigrants. It's the Scialoia Comprehensive Institute: preschool, elementary school, and middle school. It's attended by first- and second-generation foreigners. They're mostly Chinese, Arab, and South American. Teaching becomes difficult when they have to deal with the first few months with the so-called NAI (new arrivals in Italy). They often reunite in our country with their families, whom they haven't seen for years. They don't speak a word of Italian and feel completely disoriented. But even in the face of this hardship, the teachers don't lose heart. "We arrive at 8:00 in the morning, and in the evening we close the school gates," they say. And the results are there. So much so that many students are able to graduate from compulsory education. by Valeria Teodonio directed by Sonny Anzellotti edited by Maria Grazia Morrone video by Maurizio Tafuro Subscribe to Repubblica: https://s.repubblica.it/scopridipiu .
