This means that more than 50% of the schools is at risk. Because compounded by the fact that in recent years there have been no significant changes on their exposure to sources of pollution of schools, is caused by environmental context.
The appropriation in the budget of 250 million euro for the next three years, is a major innovation. As well as the "covenant of security" expected between State, Regions and Local Authorities. From now on, schools also have incentives and tax breaks for the installation of photovoltaic systems.

The boys have been involved, along with the adults for two days they worked side by side, a great educational experience at the end of which our school environment appeared renewed, restored, splendid in his new and elegant beauty.
At a time when the Italian school arrived worrying signs of malaise (bullying, violence, vulgarity and degradation) its readiness to contribute to the renovation of a public school and the constructive efforts made by teenagers and adults are a virtuoso signal, a road is made a sign of hope for the improvement of our civil society.
It is no coincidence that the major media have all shown a keen interest in what happened to Tiepolo: newspapers, regional television, Rai Tre in fact they wanted to record the choral tone of civic education which were Our protagonists are so many guys started the path of good citizens (...).
