"Here, I perceived a fundamental expression, a climate which refers to the words of Steve Jobs: to pull out from them the best of himself – said the minister of Education Stefania Giannini. The word that best expresses this atmosphere is freedom, freedom of thought," he added, placing the emphasis on the opportunities in the labour market "as not only a way to boost the economy, but as a chance to have dignity, because the work gives dignity".
