Thousands of addresses. Competition among the faculty. Big game hunting students. And the money, which are less and less. Result: Italy loses ground in Europe. So it looks as simple as revolutionary an idea: What if we begin to reward the universities more efficient, not producing graduates better?
the University of Rome there are students who buy the examinations with the complicity, as well as a professor of janitors factotum? What do you want, ours is the land of the piece paper.
So it's no wonder that occasionally burst cases. More significantly, to throw it on the paradoxical, when the opposite occurs: a teacher who buy the work of a student. It is the classic story: the dog that bites man is not news, man bites dog is.
Well, Trent was indicted a professor of the faculty of economics, on charges of buying (for old Lirette 500 000) the arguments of two boys, not so bright, given the non-exceptional student grades. Objective: to insert large pieces, including typing errors, in a volume necessary to become an ordinary professor.
Poor Italian university. Entries that after years of stagnation if not decline came back to grow, even graduates who took seven years to cross the finish line but from 36 per cent in 1994 came to 52 per cent of the total registered, the percentage of population between 25 and 27 years in possession of qualification increased from 11 to 21 percent.
Wherever you look, the university continues to appear very sick of the Italian system. The number of graduates over the entire active workforce is even shameful in comparison to that of European competitors Germany, France, Great Britain.
I remain outside during a deluge. Not enough: to continue with the merciless international comparisons, the Italian university expenditure GDP is 0.63 per cent, against 1.13 in France, 1.11 in Britain and 1.04 in Germany. The annual investment for research in universities is 2.9 billion euro, against 4.9 in France and the UK and 9 in Germany. We have 0.33 percent of researchers on the population of working age, half of other nations. Not to rage over a minor issue: the vast majority of resources goes to salaries for staff, as many as 86, 85 percent of the 6.18 billion for the regular financing of the Fund (FFO), the heart of transfers money from the state to universities.
Certainly, the current between 6,451 classes and undergraduate degrees (although at the time overlap new and old and many appear to be destined to run out) seem too frankly.
From Bolzano to Palermo, universities are now 77, the 198 municipalities in which at least one course of study, while graduate courses and diplomas at the university level is 6451.
The professors are 54,000. The 36 per cent of researchers and 65 percent of full professors are more than 50 years. Only 52 percent of members come to graduation. A fourth was abandoned after the first year.
The average age of students is 23.4 years, 27.8 in the age at which you graduate, spent seven years in power. 54 percent of the students work full or part-time.
