School, the enrolment at the start: high School or college? Listen to the prof, the council can avoid the repetition of

the ROME. Subscriptions to the via. And for thousands of Italian families who have children in the middle third, the choice of the address to follow is still a dilemma. On the 7th of January, the festival of registrations for a million and 600 thousand students intended to attend the first year of primary school and secondary school: middle and upper. Everything will have to be concluded by 31 January. But for 540 thousand directed at high school the choice is still a puzzle: high school, technical institute or vocational school? Because an error can lead to rejection or to a change in the institute in the course of the year. And in the most extreme cases the abandonment of the studies.

Works as well. The schools provide the families of the kids who attend the middle third of the so-called "council guidance" is the address that is considered the most suitable according to the inclinations of the pupil or the area towards which to orient yourself. However, not all families follow it. According to the data of the ministry of Education, more than a quarter of households (25.3%) trash the council of the prof of the medium and along another road. It is not without consequences. The numbers of viale Trastevere say that, in this case, the failure probability quadruples.

last year, among those who have followed the path traced by the professors of the medium-the percentage of promoted to the second year of high school was 94,7%. Promotion rate that drops dramatically 80.2% for those who have not followed the council's guidance.

"The given," explains Cristina Costarelli:, dean of the scientific Newton of Rome - corresponds to reality. For some years, there has been a large influx of students enrolled in the secondary schools: it is as if the parents thought that good education is only that offered by the high schools. But, according to our experience, a couple of students in each first not he made the right choice. In these cases, to avoid the repetition of convochiamo families, and we try to redirect students to other addresses".

Very critical of the autonomous choices of the families Antonello Giannelli, head of the national Association of headteachers. "It would be preferable to follow the advice of the experts rather than relying on their own impressions - warns Giannelli - it Is as if in the context of health care we had to the do-it-yourself: everyone agrees that we must follow the advice of doctors. For the school instead of no. Often - adds Giannelli - families follow the children who want to follow the companions and friends. That 25% of scattered, often result, you may have more success if you follow the advice of the teachers of the school. To 13 years the kids do not have the capacity to choose and the parents to satisfy them follow their desires. In France, for example, the system is more rigid: the choice of the address is decided by the school of the lower grade".
