A fronte della complessità della questione scolastica, il discorso su quest’ultima è spesso superficiale e non attinge né a una sua conoscenza approfondita suffragata da dati autorevoli e competenze scientifiche né a una visione del ruolo imprescindibile della scuola nella promozione e salvaguardia della democrazia. Il contributo esamina perciò un insieme di evidenze poste in luce da autorevoli indagini e da fonti statistiche nazionali e internazionali da cui risaltano molteplici criticità persistenti nel sistema di istruzione e formazione del nostro Paese il quale non riesce ad assolvere quanto sancito dalla Costituzione e rischia anzi di farsi ulteriore veicolo di discriminazione sociale. Approda pertanto a delineare alcune direzioni di impegno prioritario per ridare valore alla scuola come leva di una società democratica: ritessere il tessuto valoriale, dare fiducia alla scuola, coltivare la cultura valutativa, dare centralità educativa ai luoghi della formazione.

Abstract

In the face of the complexity of the school question, the discourse on the latter is often superficial and draws neither on its in-depth knowledge supported by authoritative data and scientific expertise nor on a vision of the essential role of the school in promoting and safeguarding democracy. The paper therefore examines a set of evidence highlighted by national and international authoritative surveys and statistical sources from which many persistent critical issues stand out in the education and training system of our country, which fails to fulfill what is enshrined in our Constitution and indeed risks becoming a further vehicle of social discrimination. The Author therefore outlines some directions of priority commitment to restore value to the school as a lever of a democratic society: reweave the fabric of values, trust the school, cultivate the culture of evaluation, give educational centrality to school.
