Italy: the need for school reform

A major student movement and student currently rocking Italy. As stressed by other articles of NOVOpress, this movement is, by what took place the student organizations of the radical right, including the Roman Blocco Studentesco. But whatever sympathy we can feel right for this antagonist, particularly in its battle with unions leftists, we should not be mistaken: school reform in Italy is rather a good reform. Two measures are the subject of the dispute schoolgirl: - Decree Gelmini, now endorsed by Parliament, which deals mainly primary school - The Finance Act for education, or "Legge 133" (Act 133). The primary reform desired by Mariastella Gelmini (pictured right against), Minister of Education, has five main points. :: The return to the single classroom teacher. Since 1990, Italian schoolchildren have effect three Instits they share with another class. This strange system was invented by the left in 1990 to avoid the deletion of teaching posts because of the demographic crisis transalpine. :: The return of notes in 10 elementary and college (instead of simple comments from teachers) to enable parents to better understand the course of their children. :: The return of a note of discipline, could pave the way to change school pupils the most dispelled. :: The recruitment of teachers on a regional basis rather than national, novelty desired by the Northern League to encourage the establishment of a genuine local autonomy in education. :: The establishment of a special financing plan to complete the safety of school buildings. Legge 133 provides for its reduced expenditures and the development of partnerships between universities and enterprises. We must bear in mind that in Italy more than in France, universities overflow of students without opportunities to eventually accept 30 years trades under-qualified for 1000 euros per month. Discipline, self-efficacy are all thrust of these measures, undoubtedly insufficient to fully recover to level the Italian education system, but which nevertheless can not do it well. Even if the Italian nationalist students, marked by the cult of strong state and equal in deem otherwise.
