Ferdinanda Chiarello, The crisis of school or the school of crisis? Living the threshold

 

Italian school is passing through a deep structural and political crisis. The reforms (and ministers) that have succeeded in the last decades have deprived it of its sense. Students, families and teachers look nostalgically at the past and at the same time they direct their gaze towards an unknown future.Through a short historical excursus which recalls the last fifty years of Italian school, the author, head teacher of a unified school, searches for the roots and the reasons of a crisis which seems to have no solution.
