School, 41% of the population between the ages of 18 and 74 has at most a middle school diploma (17.7 million people). Only 6.1 million Italians have a university degree
As many as 11.7 million Italians have never enrolled in upper secondary school, almost 4 million have stopped in the education path without obtaining a secondary school diploma. They are more men (62%) than women (38%). In the face of almost 11 million who have obtained the diploma have not continued their studies, there are 5 million graduates who have enrolled in university courses without completing them, with a significant expenditure of time and resources.
This is what the Plus 2022 Report reveals, which will be presented on March 7, with the results of a survey on a sample of 45,000 individuals aged 18 to 74. Today again 41% of the population aged between 18 and 74 has at most a middle school diploma (17.7 million people) – the INAPP researchers write – the graduates are the majority: 42%, equal to 17.9 million people. The portion of the population with the highest educational qualification is made up of 6.1 million university graduates (14%) and 1.3 million people with masters and research doctorates (3%) and women continue to have higher levels of education.
“These data give a fairly clear picture of our education and vocational training system – explained Sebastiano Fadda, president of INAPP – which needs to be improved to guarantee a better adherence of training courses to the skills needs emerging from the evolution of the society and also to ensure an adequate guidance and support system capable of breaking the frequent dependence of training courses on the parents’ cultural and income background”.
Orientation, investments in school, support for the most fragile – adds Fadda – are activities to be supported to guarantee new generations who are integrated and up to date, both as citizens and as workers”. The study shows that every 100 people with a high school, 77 have a diploma (1/3 have a technical diploma and another 1/3 a high school) and 23 have a degree (and of these 4 also have a master’s or PhD). high school student took a bachelor’s degree.
