Wednesday morning were held at the first CTP of Reggio Emilia Italian test for non-EU nationals require a residence permit long-term Ce (former residence card). To pass the test, along with a number of other requirements, it has become since 9 December, an essential element to transform the temporary residence permit in a permit for an indefinite period. A residence permit that guarantees certain rights and protections than the short-term residence permit like that, once granted permission to stay Ce, no longer had to prove that you have a job to stay in the Italian territory.

During the course of the examination was held a sit-in protest organized by the City Migrante, the association Word of mouth, by the group of Emergency Reggio Emilia, Reggio Emilia school by Cobas and Tom Thumb Gnus to say: We do not we agree that the language law is turned into blackmail. Many of the slogans of the day: "judge not integrate," "dismantling the state requires schools and exams", "no one in school is illegal," "the language is not a barrier but a right", "right of residence all "," blackmail does not help learning. " We as Italian language school for immigrants - says Giovanna Soliani, a teacher at the Migrante-City Association are very concerned by this rule has been imposed. We do not agree with the decree for a number of reasons: first, we think that the Italian language is a right to be guaranteed at all, instead the duty of passing the test becomes a factor in the language of possible foreclosure. In fact, knowing our students, we know that for a certain range of people passing a test like this is very difficult in the sense that the test is designed for literate people.
Furthermore, people of Chinese origin, who speak a language other than alphabetical, have certainly very difficult to take the test.
The garrison was also attended by some migrants expressed their opposition to the test:
There are people not so young, but also some young people who have not studied. And 'people who lived in the countryside or mountains. With us only those who live in big cities can be studied but for others it is not always possible. So would not be able to pass the exam-says Aisha. Omar continues: I also know people who have never been to school, having so many problems here even with the job.
There are people who work and have problems going to school, because the organization. I think there should be an agreement between the state and employers because they can lend a hand to people who work for at least an hour or two a day to attend school.
When I arrived here I made a personal choice to go to school to learn the language because it is an important thing in life is to seek employment and to create friendships.
Paola also Mistral, Mouth of the association, a school for migrant committed from 7 years on the teaching of Italian language and culture with hundreds of entries each year.
One of the goals of our school is to encourage integration and test in front of this we ask ourselves how a state can impose from a test without providing adequate resources. So there was no one who claims things. The test is actually not as evidence of Italian, but as an instrument of exclusion in the league the exercise of rights to a series of tests, which rights should be guaranteed regardless of language ability. We can not become citizens of the bands of series A and series B because it completely contradicts the article in our Constitution.
Sit-in has also participated in one of 14 teachers of the province of Reggio CTP that individually have signed a document asking the Prefect a public reflection on the ministerial decree of June 4, 2010. Annalisa Govi summed up the priorities on which would consider necessary to pay attention: First of all I would like to quote the Constitution, Article 3, paragraph two says it is for the Republic to remove those obstacles that limit the social equality of citizens and prevent the 'effective participation of all workers in public and social life of the country. This is obviously one of the primary tasks of the school and then the CTP. With this decree, instead asking me to work for some people to affect access to the rights of all. It 's the opposite of what I've always done and I've always believed as a teacher. The rejection of the test is not the rejection of a school-leaving examination or an examination of the matter. It 's a rejection that prevents you from receiving the maternity allowance to women, which forces you to pay 100 € (2 soon00) every two years for each family member for permission to renew the short term, it is a rejection that makes life difficult until you can return to the underground in the absence of a job.
Furthermore this is a test that the current state of the facts some people will never overcome. There are people who could not benefit from a basic schooling in their country, were unable to acquire sufficient linguistic and cultural tools. And for those people, if there is a sharp increase in training opportunities, the failure to test is a certainty.
This is nothing new for those days that you do not invest in training, culture, and school. Strange that for this exam (and not a serious policy of social and cultural) are prepared to invest about € 1000 per month in every Italian city. We believe that this issue does not serve to improve the management of migration, but also does not lead to integration or interaction.
