Abstract

In order to tackle the most urgent needs of the Italian education system, it is of the utmost importance to focus on the long-term design for Italian schools. The approach that has been followed since the 1960s is instead mainly based on marginal, incremental interventions. This is the result of many different ideological preclusions and vetoes towards more overreaching (and usually effective) reform proposals. However, we think this modus operandi is no longer suitable. The resistances that our long-term reform is bound to generate should be overcome. In order to do that, our proposal cannot be imposed to everyone. It therefore entails a voluntary adhesion to the new system during a probationary period. The new configuration will be based on independently managed schools, competing among each other and coexisting with more traditional ones.
