Rai Confirms Schettini’s Sanremo Appearance as Dispute Over His Teaching Role Escalates

The physics teacher faces scrutiny after a podcast promoting paid online lessons prompted allegations about his classroom practices.

Overview

  • Rai executive Claudio Fasulo said Schettini will take the Ariston stage on the penultimate night to address youth distress and addictions in a segment requested by the Ministry.
  • Conflicting coverage persisted as la Repubblica and Fanpage reported a last‑minute withdrawal, while Schettini’s camp denied any backtrack.
  • Former students alleged he used class time to record content and linked higher grades to active participation in his YouTube live sessions.
  • Journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli published additional testimonies, including claims that commenting on his livestreams could yield up to two extra grades.
  • Schettini rejected coercion claims, shared a letter from 24 student representatives in his defense, and said he has received strong support at school.
