THE ITALIAN SCHOOL SYSTEM

3
I.T.I.S. F. SEVERI - PADOVA
Italy, in terms of both compulsory and higher
education, is currently undergoing a period of
transition through which the basic structure of
the state system, as a whole, is being
overhauled. These changes are designed not only
to bring Italian education in line with the rest
of the European Union but also to create a more
flexible system, which better and more broadly
educates those who study in Italy.

A long Reform 'season'

• The Reform 'season' of the Italian school system
  has been going on for 40 years.
• Our school system seems to be 'stuck' in
  continuing and inconclusive reforms which
  actually began well -although amidst enormous
  difficulties but have ended up in 'nothing
  conclusive' because of the continuous
  governmental changing!
• On one side, many Italian teachers from State
  schools feel ready for reform, but many others
  are still 'clinging' to traditional and rigid
  norms, refusing to be involved in the research
  for new contents, methodologies and organisations
  that fit the requirements of our contemporary
  society.

• STRUCTURE
• The Italian educational system is strongly
  centralized
• - Compulsory education begins at the age of six
  and ends at the age of sixteen, after the Middle
  School Diploma and the second year of upper
  secondary school
•

I.T.I.S. F. SEVERI - PADOVA

• After Middle School exam (grade 8) students can
  choose among various types of upper secondary
  schools
• - Lyceum (classical or scientific high schools
  which prepare for University)
• - Technical high schools (split into various
  tracks industrial, agricultural, chemical,
  commercial)
• - Vocational high schools (also split into many
  tracks).
• High schools last FIVE years and conclude at the
  end of grade 13 with a national final exam
  (State Exam)

Specific aspects of the Italian school system -
At the beginning of the first year of each school
level (elementary, middle, high school), pupils
are split up into class groups which will be the
same for several years. Pupils of the same age
do not mix to form different class groups they
have lessons always in the same classroom and
laboratories where the different teachers turn
over. Unless they fail!

I.T.I.S. F. SEVERI - PADOVA
- That is because once students have chosen their
track, syllabi are fixed, there are no (or very
limited) options. (i.e. different languages, or
religion vs. individual study or optional
subjects) - Classes last from 50 to 60 minutes
and take place (on average) only in the
morning - One teacher (or two teachers, in the
case of subjects like Chemistry, Maths, Physics,
Electronics and IT studies that have practical
training in labs) for each subject accompanies
the same group of pupils for more than a year
(three in middle school, between two and five in
high school)


10
I.T.I.S. F. SEVERI - PADOVA
- The number of teaching hours per subject and
the curricula are defined by ministerial decree
in the whole country. - While the subjects and
hours must be the same for every school, the
curricula are only a sort of concise guide-line
in order to reach the educational objectives
required by the system, through the didactic
planning, which is mainly the teachers tasks.
11
IFTS courses

• IFTS is the acronym referring to Higher
  Technical Education and Training
• IFTS courses, which last an average of 1200
  hours, in fact a school year, allow you to
  develop professional skills through the use of
  group work, analysis of specific cases,
  elaborations on the field and an extended period
  of practical training in the company.
• At the end of IFTS courses an examination is
  scheduled to issue the Regional Certificate of
  Higher Technical Specialization recognized, in
  Italy and Europe, with a list of skills acquired.

12
IFTS in ITIS Severi before 2005

• since 1999 ITIS is committed to the design and
  implementation of IFTS courses
• Key themes
• QUALITY CERTIFICATION AND SAFETY
• Stakeholders
• Electrical and electronics industries

13
2005Defining the aims of IFTS courses

• Regional consultation
• Schools and universities administrators, local
  officials and representatives of industry
  associations form a committee whose task is to
  detect the needs of the local production system
  and define the directions in which to plan the
  training courses.

Needs of our local area

• In recent years two types of technician were
  identified as the needs of our local area
• Responsible for the environment, energy and
  safety in factories
• Technician in computer systems and IT skills

What about ITIS and Liceo Scientifico Tecnologico
Francesco Severi? The school is named after the
Italian Mathematician Francesco Severi and it is
regarded as a strict school it is, of course,
a pun as in Italian severi is a synonim for
strict. Lets connect to www.itiseveri.it

in electronic design
21
ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS

• At the end of this course the student can
• design and test electronic equipment
• And he knows the importance
• To be versatile
• To update his technical knowledge

22
Job opportunities
ELECTRONICS AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS

• In electronic factories he can take part in
  manufacturing, in design and quality control of
  final products.
• In other factories he often manages automation
  systems for production.

but he can also complete his educational
pathway at university
He generally becomes an electronic engineer
24
WORKING AS AN INDEPENDENT WORKER
Leaving school after getting the final diploma, a
student can undergo a two year specific training.
This opportunity offers the possibility to work
as an independent worker provided one passes a
further final State examination. He then has to
record his qualification in a special register
before starting work as a designer,as a manager,
as a tester, a mantainer and an installer in the
following fields Electrical, electronic,
radio-TV, antenna, lightning rod, heating and
hydro sistems
