The changes will mainly affect next year’s students. “Those who are preparing to participate in the tests for scheduled access to medical courses in 2022 – specifies the Minister of University and Research, Maria Cristina Messa – will not have major changes compared to the past: the method of execution remains the same with a unique day throughout Italy and with the test in person and on paper, while we intervene on the types of questions. Less general knowledge, more technical subjects. In addition, to ensure equal opportunities for all, we will provide free preparation material “.
From next year, however, as is already the case for other degree courses, scheduled access becomes a path. “On the one hand – Mass adds – we invest in orientation and training from high school and, on the other, twe transform the “quizzone” into an orientation and entrance test that can be repeated. It will continue to be there a national date established by the ministry but it will be the one in which all candidates will have to enter the best score obtained in the tests, starting from which the national ranking will be built “.
“These are all measures that allow a preparation path that is the most equitable for everyone”. We ask universities – explains the head of Miur – to hold free training courses, there will be aptitude tests that children can carry out to self-evaluate, we invest in guidance both with PNRR funds and with national resources, even by going to schools for help the kids to choose. We want to support the dreams of young people and allow them to make informed choices “,
“The vote today unanimously – Mesa concludes – certifies the joint will of the Government and Parliament to work to give young people more and more opportunities and respond to their requests. I’m very satisfied”
