Patrizia Marini With the start of the new school year 2010/2011, the City of San Vito Romano has increased its teaching program promoting the opening of a class of the Agricultural Institute "Emilio Sereni" are fewer than 20 pupils. Pending the completion of the building that will accommodate sub-office of the institute, with a budgeted expenditure of over € 4 million funded by the Province of Rome, the City has provided an entire floor of the Middle School "Pellico" providing shelter to members, for the most part San Vito is not, under which begin the training, as well as the allocation of almost € 6000 for the provision of full and free textbooks.
We contacted the manager of the school "Serena," Professor Patricia Marine, named the director of schools already in the area, such as primary and secondary schools, to ask you some questions about this new openness, the organization and the new role assigned to it.
What do you think of a section of the ITA in a small company like St. Vito? The opening of a section of the ITA in a reality like that of S. Vito is an important opportunity for the country itself and for the training of young people of San Vito Romano and neighboring countries, many of them to call rural and agricultural environment in particular. During the five years of study proposed for achieving the title of Perito nell'Agraria and agribusiness, in fact, the young acquire specific skills in organization and management of productive activities in the areas plants and animals, never leaving
product quality and the environment. The student acquires also
skills in the work of genetic improvement of products (plants and animals) and
agricultural biotechnology, and again in the management of the territory,
detection of environmental problems and in planning interventions for the protection zones
risk. The Agricultural Expert, then, is able to operate in the processing of agricultural and agro-industrial products
. The acquisition of these skills to the young not only offers the possibility
access to all universities but also the opportunity for inclusion in
different sectors of the working world.
The Institute, to our knowledge, will have an entire floor of the high school, such as spaces will be organized, the lectures and laboratory activities? Start the activity for a school is not easy, and even less so if it is a
Agricultural Institute, with great care, however, good will, enthusiasm and desire to
offer users a real and profitable training opportunities, I tried to use the space better
granted and the facilities made available to ensure that First class of students
of the See of San Vito Romano ITI "E. Sereni" can play the activity quietly
workshop also, however, encouraged by the reforms in the classes
Prime, Secondary School second-grade, in the current school year .
There will need to apply a reduced time to meet the needs of resident students? You can not reduce the hours of instruction, even of non-resident students, we will try, however, to meet the needs of commuter students, but always in compliance with legislation.
Thinking an agricultural college we imagine a lot of practice in contact with nature, but what should be the real Institute in the future for now is only a piece of land with a ruin, as existing provision for this lack? resources available today will be used at best for the implementation of Curriculum Design
. Meanwhile, with the help of the Ministry of Education and Local Authorities and non
I have already activated to expand, improve and provide the necessary tools as
currently available, all of which achieve the same objective, to be part of ' users,
of a human and professional training more responsive to demands of contemporary society
.
Do you know of future developments in that area? The rediscovery of the importance of agriculture and agro, and the care and protection of the environment especially in small towns, leaving to assume the re-evaluation of traditional activities, seen as a valuable resource for the community also to youth employment .
To our knowledge, you also will cover the post of Director of the Institutes existing in the Territory Sanvitese: he studied the environment? If so, that idea has made and, more importantly, what changes would find it appropriate to do ? Having just been appointed manager of the school including
San Vito Romano, are still at the stage of knowledge of school reality entrusted to me, so I can not give a precise answer to the question that you post; I, Instead, say that it will be my chief care connected to the different types of school in order to achieve a fruitful and stimulating training to users, aimed at a proper preparation is the same in terms of humanistic and technical - professional.
