  1. Education in Italy Education in Italy iscompulsoryfrom 6 to 16 yearsofage, and isdividedintofivestages: kindergarten (scuola dell'infanzia), primaryschool (scuola primaria), lowersecondaryschool (scuola secondaria di primo grado), upper secondaryschool (scuola secondaria di secondo grado) and university (università). Italy hasboth public and private educationsystems.

  2. Primary education Scuolaprimaria(primary school), also known as scuolaelementare, is commonly preceded by three years of non-compulsory nursery school (or kindergarten). Scuolaelementare lasts five years. Until middle school, the educational curriculum is the same for all pupils: although one can attend a private or state-funded school, the subjects studied are the same (with the exception of special schools for the blind or the hearing-impaired). The students are given a basic education in Italian, English, mathematics, natural sciences, history, geography, social studies, physical education and visual and musical arts.

  3. Scuolasecondaria di primo grado The Scuolasecondaria di primo gradolasts three years (roughly from age 11 to 13), and provides further education on the subjects studied at the scuolaprimaria, with the addition of Technology and a language other than English (typically French, Spanish or German). The curriculum is the same for all schools. At the end of the third year students sit an exam which enables them to continue their education. Scuolasecondaria di secondogrado The Scuolasecondaria di secondogradolasts five years (even though some istitutiprofessionali might offer a diploma after only three years). Every type involves an exam at the end of the final year, called Esame di Maturità, required to gain a diploma and have access to further education. This exam takes place every year between June and July and grants access to University. The secondary school situation varies, since there are several types of schools differentiated by subjects and activities. The main division is between the Liceo, the IstitutoTecnico and the IstitutoProfessionale. The "Liceo“ refers to a class of secondary schools oriented towards the study of the arts and sciences. All of the Licei have many subjects in common, such as Italian Literature, or Mathematics, while other subjects are peculiar to a particular type of Liceo (i.e. Ancient Greek in the LiceoClassico, pedagogy in the LiceodelleScienzeUmane or scenography in the LiceoArtistico). The Istitutotecnico is mainly a business studies school and the IstitutoProfessionale is a vocational school.
