School Reforms: Now we postpone with 6th
During the Council of Ministers, a school reform called “Law and Order” promoted by the Meloni government was approved. This reform includes two important changes announced by the Minister giuseppe valditara months earlier and repeated during a speech in Pontida, in which he recalled the problems that emerged from the “Revolution of ’68”. In his speech, Minister Valditara underlined the importance of reintroducing values, common sense and seriousness into society to stop the country’s decline, highlighting the important role of schools in this reform process.
School reform involves significant changes in the assessment of student behavior. The main innovation includes the reintroduction of behavioral assessment into middle schools, replacing a decision taken by Minister Valeria Fedeli in 2017, which ended the practice. The marks assigned to behavior will be expressed in tenths and will affect the overall average along with other subjects.

The selection of activity will be based on the severity of the behavior that led to the suspension and will be established independently by the school.
Training courses includeSchoolwork option starting in second year, with a minimum of 400 total hours, and involving teachers from the productive and professional world to improve non-curricular teaching. This “campus” model will be created through regional agreements between schools, regional vocational training centers and its academies, which represent a post-diploma supply chain managed by foundations made up of different local entities. This approach raises some trade union concerns and may create tension with universities, as it represents a parallel channel to professional degrees.
The duration of the basic training will be four years, with the responsibility to achieve specific learning objectives and skills required for the profile in the fifth year of the curriculum. Despite this, it is guaranteed that the teaching staff will remain unchanged, even if unions express concerns about possible cuts and the entry of foreign teachers into a model that could be described as “school-company”. Students who complete professional training courses will have the opportunity to enroll in its academy, after having their education evaluated through a test designed by Invalsi.
