Ornella Cuzzupi, National Secretary of UGL Istruzione, has advocated for the strengthening of the Italian school system. Initially, Cuzzupi emphasized the necessity of ensuring teacher coverage, adequate resources, and school safety, while supporting recent funding allocations for school buildings. She also noted the importance of establishing rules and training for the use of artificial intelligence in education.

Following these calls, UGL Istruzione leadership conducted a visit to Matera to engage with workers and educational entities. This visit expanded the focus to include precarious employment, teacher valorization, and the integration of education and training into regional development strategies to support young people in Basilicata.
