Here is the paper presentation of Mariastella Gelmini, born in 1973, the new Minister for Education and University. I know, school is the theme for another blog, but there are things in this world that you should discuss any possible environment, first of all, the future of their descendants ... that should go to school! What school?
Towards a more US-style school? From
repubblica.it
To revive the school should operate three levers: "Enhancement of the merits and full application of the principle of school autonomy", "promotion of merit of students and, finally," teachers' appreciation of their merits. " How? First, through the " strengthening of organizational and disciplinary powers school leaders with responsibility for administrative management and recruitment of faculty . "Going to" the promotion of full competition among schools , through the adoption of mechanisms for allocating public resources in line with the performance training recognized by a third party "which will publish" an annual ranking of schools based on regional parameters transparent and verifiable "and through" recognition to the families of training vouchers to spend in public or private schools. "
Students should be encouraged to give their best through " cancellation of the system of debits and increased selectivity of the mechanisms of educational progress, including through the re-introduction of remedial examination . "For those who are in difficulty should be provided" within the plan of training of the individual schools, even among their member, special compulsory supplementary modules that provide the opportunity, at no cost to the student, to recover any shortfall in the year in individual subjects and to encourage the most talented "interventions to the granting of scholarships related to the merits, notwithstanding the need to ensure an adequate system of grants to deserving students in need. "
To encourage teachers to work" better "should be eliminated" any automatic salary progression and career teachers. " should progressively liberalize the teaching profession" through call by name by school autonomy on lists of suitable candidates, with a trial period of two years taking preparatory school for an indefinite period "and give" the opportunity to individual schools to enter into contracts with individual teachers supplementary private- .
To take off the university system, students should submit to "preliminary examinations required for access to public and private universities, whether or not to include the number of students for enrollment in degree courses, in order to assess the basic knowledge and subsequent student achievement. " We should restructure "the university fees, with the strengthening of scholarships for deserving students and increases in taxes charged to students outside the course," expand "the scope of the lending institution of honor."
For developing the merits of university teachers and researchers should spend for "the progressive abolition of positions for an indefinite period." Should re-examine "the mechanisms of recruitment, through the gradual establishment of the call rated by university faculty " and " introduce systems to monitor three-year research results a, for the maintenance of office and progressions career ". But not only. Funding to universities should be distributed in direct proportion to the results of quality educational institutions certified by third parties. "The same goes for research institutions to which we will touch the privatization and" the destruction of those that are inadequate in relation to public international standards. "
