Carlo Scognamiglio ha detto...

Mi scuso, ma forse può essere utile aggiungere alla discussione qualche altro passo (meno noto) del rapporto OCSE 2008. Premesso che a me non piace la direzione che ha preso l'istruzione pubblica in Europa e in molta parte dell'occidente (né com'è ora, né dove sembra destinata), qualche elemento in più non ci può far male, perché i rapporti vanno letti nella loro interezza. Visto che le ramanzine sulle classi "semivuote" l'abbiamo sentita anche troppo, tanto vale vedere cos'altro c'è scritto:

1) Sulla soddisfazione delle famiglie intorno alla scuola italiana:

"Parents in Italy are a bit more satisfied with the standards of achievements in schools than in most other countries. Parents of 80% of students “strongly agreed or agreed” that standards of achievement were high in their child’s school compared with parents of 77% of students across 10 OECD countries [...]

2) In particolare sulla disciplina:

"In Italy parents of about 81% of students are satisfied with the disciplinary atmosphere in their child’s school (country average of 79%) and parents of 92% of students felt that the school did a good job of educating students compared with the average of 85% among the countries with available data"

3) Sulla smodatezza della spesa italiana per unità di studente:

"spending per student across all levels of education (excluding pre-primary education) in Italy is, at USD 7 540 (equivalent), close to the OECD average of USD 7 527 [...] In Italy, between 1995 and 2005, enrolments and expenditure at the primary and secondary levels remained fairly stable, resulting in a spending increase per student of less than 5%. Meanwhile, the OECD average spending per student increased by almost 35% at these levels"

3) A proposito di sprechi:

"Over the 1995-2005 period spending on educational institutions in Italy increased by 12% only (compared to 41% on average) and varied from 4.8 to 4.7% of GDP, which is well below the OECD average of 5.8%"

4) Gli insegnanti guadagnano troppo?
"Italy provides comparatively low teacher salaries. At USD 29 287 for a primary school teacher with minimum training and 15 years of experience, Italy ranks 6th among OECD countries [...]Between 1996 and 2006, the salaries of primary teachers increased in Italy by 11%, below the average increase of 15% among the 19 OECD countries with comparable data"
