Naples also occupied the Alberti High School. Students say, "Destroy the CPRs, not our schools."

Another school occupied in Naples. This time the protest began at the Leon Battista Alberti high school on Via Pigna, where students from the Collettivo Alberti and the Kaos Coordination group decided to mobilize against the policies of the Meloni government, specifically targeting the repatriation detention centers (CPRs) and the management of public resources.

"What drove us to make this decision was our profound indignation toward this government and the strong responsibility we feel at this particular moment in history," the students explained, announcing the launch of a process of discussion and analysis within the institute.

At the heart of the protest is the allocation of public funds. According to the students, the resources should be used to improve school conditions, strengthen public healthcare, and support welfare, rather than funding facilities they consider incompatible with the protection of human rights.

"The problem for students and schools is certainly not foreign students. The real problem is a system that continues to impoverish us," emphasize the Kaos Collective and Coordination, denouncing the condition of school buildings and the lack of adequate spaces for student life.

"We can no longer accept studying in unsafe buildings, without heating in the winter or dedicated spaces for socializing. Enough funding for CPRs, we want usable classrooms, functioning laboratories, and safe roofs," they say.

The organizers intend the occupation not only as a form of protest, but also as an opportunity to experiment with a different approach to teaching. "The occupation isn't an interruption of learning, but the beginning of a different kind of teaching: led by us, based on discussion, and the in-depth exploration of topics that traditional curricula ignore," the students explain, identifying civil rights, geopolitics, and climate and social justice among the topics to be addressed.

The student group also criticized the CPRs, which they call "veritable state concentration camps." According to their complaint, these facilities suffer from violations of fundamental rights, lack of legal protection, degrading sanitary conditions, abuse of psychotropic drugs, and isolation from the outside world.

The students also challenge the use of administrative detention for people without a valid residence permit, emphasizing that these do not necessarily involve people convicted of criminal offenses.

The mobilization at Alberti is part of a climate of student protests aimed at bringing the conditions of schools and public spending priorities back to the forefront of the debate. The collective's final message is an invitation to participate in the mobilization: "This is just the beginning, join us at school. Destroy the CPRs, not our schools, not our classrooms."
