After nine years of waiting at the Ministry of Education, a new general management is about to return that will take care of ITS, but also of the entire technical-professional chain (including relations with territories and the production world). The amendment by the Ministry of Education to the reform of the higher technical institutes is ready, on the home straight to the Senate, which, in fact, restores the “control room” of work-oriented school policies, suppressed in 2013 by Maria Chiara Carrozza for reasons of spending review.
The next steps
The standard, now being examined by the Ministry of Economy; after which it will be presented in the Education Commission of Palazzo Madama, it was strongly desired by Patrizio Bianchi to restore dignity and “value” to an entire educational sector for too long, and unjustly, considered to be of series B. Basically the whole majority satisfied; by Riccardo Nencini, president of the Senate Education Commission, and speaker of the ITS reform, who commented: “It is the confirmation that we intend to strongly promote the enhancement of ITS, which intends to invest with determination in the growth of an indispensable knowledge sector for the new world of work “; to Gabriele Toccafondi (Iv), who added: “A fundamental structure for youth employment is back”, up to Valentina Aprea (Fi), who stressed “the importance of bringing technical and strategic education back to the center for the relaunch of the country “.
The link with the reforms of the Education Pnrr
The new general management will have to manage the take-off of ITS (an additional 1.5 billion will arrive from Europe to at least double the number of members); but it will also have to deal with reforming technical and vocational institutes; and he will also have his say on the orientation reform (starting from middle school); in short, the new structure will “work” on three of the six reforms contained in the Education Pnrr. By May, Bianchi told the Chamber yesterday, a notice will also arrive on ITS to finance laboratories 4.0 and increase in courses in line with the new production chains.
The amendment on the new dg “is an important signal of the attention of Minister Bianchi to a central supply chain to reduce the mismatch and promote the employment of our young people – said Gianni Brugnoli, vice president of Confindustria for human capital -. We are talking about innovative technical education, closely linked to Industry 4.0, today more than ever essential to push industry and economic growth ».
