Students in Siena occupy Monna Agnese school over facility issues
Students at the Monna Agnese Institute in Siena have occupied their school buildings to protest long-standing structural and organizational issues. The protesters describe the situation as unsustainable, noting that the institute is split across three separate locations: via Monna Agnese, via Bastianini, and via Pendola.
Key grievances include obsolete buildings with structural defects, such as windows that no longer close, and inadequate spaces that impact daily learning. The fragmentation of the school into different sites has reportedly led to student isolation, inconsistent services, and logistical difficulties. Students claim that despite years of institutional meetings and promises from various administrations, no concrete solutions have been implemented to provide dignified study conditions.
