The file Eurostat on public spending for all ‘education is one of those that make one shiver. As published by the famous newspaper ‘ The Fact Daily ‘, Italy ranks second to last in the ranking of European countries: after us, there is only Romania.
Latest news school, Sunday, March 27, 2016: Italy spends a pittance on education
Italy (the figures refer to 2014 ) allocated to education just under eight percent of the economic resources available to the State (7.9 to be exact). Some may argue that, at the time, did not exist yet the Good School Reform wanted by Matteo Renzi and how these data relate to the previous government: comparing, however, these statistics with the new Eurydice report, already available, one realizes that there is much to be happy and how things do not are not really changed so much.
In fact, in 2014 the government destined to the sector ‘education’ EUR 49066182241, broken down between funds (childhood, primary, secondary and university); the new report speaks instead of 49,157,304,941 Euros, or approximately only 91 million more than the previous year’s data. In spite of the ‘Copernican revolution’, constantly mentioned by the Minister Stefania Giannini , we are talking about 0.1 per cent more resources made available to education, not striking and extraordinary numbers.
the Good School Renzi-Giannini is not reversing the route
In relation to the GDP, Italy has invested on ‘ educational only 4.1 per cent, a lower percentage even in countries such as Greece, Slovakia, Portugal and Poland. Suffice it to say that Sweden has allocated 6.6 percent of its GDP to education and as many as 12.7 percent of the total of its public spending. All this demonstrates that our country is still light years away from reaching at least ‘sufficient’: indeed, actually, instead of catching up with the European states, the impression is that we are going in the opposite direction.
