Italian Education Minister Valditara urges reduced summer homework load

Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara called on teachers to moderate the amount of summer homework, arguing that students who have performed well during the school year deserve time for other activities, while those who need to recover should focus on specific gaps rather than extensive assignments. In the same period, Valditara discussed the internal situation of the Lega, noting its loss of support and the emergence of the Futuro Nazionale party led by Roberto Vannacci, which is attracting right‑wing figures from both the Lega and Fratelli d’Italia. He warned against “cheap demagogy” on migration, stating that extreme anti‑immigrant measures are incompatible with the Constitution and EU treaties, and emphasized respect for citizens. The minister also referenced the government's recent security decree and criticized the government's approach to identity and security issues.
