Plans for Bible reading and Latin in Italian schools criticised as retrograde'
Briefly

Giuseppe Valditara emphasized the need for children to cultivate a taste for reading and improve their writing skills, which resonates with the proposed curriculum changes.
The undersecretary of the education ministry suggested that the Bible, while not explicitly part of the primary syllabus, would influence curriculum due to its cultural significance.
Valditara championed the revival of memorizing poetry, advocating for a progression from nursery rhymes to classical texts like Greek mythology, to stimulate children's imagination.
Reports suggest a diverse reading list that would feature both classic Italian authors like Giovanni Pascoli and modern writers like Stephen King, promoting a broad literary culture.
