Italian Student Protest New Education Laws
A new set of laws being considered that target Italian colleges and universities have driven both students and educators out of the classroom and onto the picket lines. If the laws are passed, universities that are not performing well will not be awarded government funding, which is a move that protesters believe will force them to shut down. In order to appease students, researchers and educators, the Italian Senate has increased the amount of funding that the government will award to schools, however, this move has not made much of an impact.Italian schools are already suffering from overcrowding and these widespread protests are making it even more difficult for students to get a quality education. Many universities and colleges have remained open, but they are relying on student teachers and inexperienced assistants to instruct classes. Italy will also have to come to grips with teacher shortages. A large number of educators are nearing the retirement age and few university students are interested in entering the field. Italy has considered hiring teachers from nearby European nations, but many of them to not have highly specific credentials required to legally teach.
These protests are expected to continue, which means that students that are not taking part in the protests will continue to receive a sub par education. Both colleges and students will need to come up with an alternative plan of action if teachers are still protesting at the onset of the winter semester. The Italian government will continue to make changes to the proposed education laws until they are able to appease both students and educators.
