The stabbing incident at a school
near Milan on Monday morning should invite reflection on the
need for psychologists in schools, Education Minister Giuseppe
Valditara said in a social video after visiting the injured
teacher in hospital.
"I wanted to express my solidarity and that of the entire
government with the attacked teacher, who did her duty in an
exemplary way towards a boy who had already had some problems in
the past," said Valditara.
"I want us to take the opportunity to reflect on the
introduction of psychologists at school. It is a particularly
difficult time, the uneasiness experienced by young people, also
as a result of Covid, has greatly increased," added the
minister.
Earlier on Monday Valditara said he would visit the injured
teacher in the town of Abbiategrasso after she was attacked by a
16-year-old male pupil with a knife.
He described the incident as "particularly disturbing".
