Italian Lifelong Learning in Europe: Notes to the Second Millennium

Abstract

In Italy the Education and Training System is undergoing a period of complex reorganization. This occurs within a European Integration Process aimed at achieving a full Citizenship right and the maximum mobility among Member States. Starting from the latest European Directives, which make the concept of Competence the cornerstone of Education, Training and Work, and examining data from some very recent surveys of national and international significance, here we propose a picture of the current Italian situation.
