University and Secundary School: next Generation Project

EasyChair Preprint 15484

Abstract

The orientation process is certainly a critical and strategic component of education. In Italy, too, attention has shifted to the school orientation problems, both at secondary school and university school level. The process of orientation is so highly structured that it needs adequate and in-depth learning of educational options and the awareness of the different dimension and capabilities that compose the human being. This descriptive contribution aims to disseminate the Italian NEXT orientation project, which involved all Italian universities. The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP) envisages a reform of the guidance system and allocates 250 million euro investment for 'active guidance in the school-university transition'. The investment aims to facilitate and encourage the transition from upper secondary school to university and, at the same time, to address university drop-outs in later years, helping to lay the foundations for achieving the strategic goal of increasing the number of graduates. We recount the experience of the Università Roma TRE, the methods of the working group and the initial conclusions. The findings also indicate that educational advisors play a very important role in providing career guidance services to students in their final years of secondary school An integrated approach among all stakeholders, with the help of digital communication, can become a strategic asset not only in economic terms (justify the European funds invested), but above all in terms of social change and pedagogical intervention methods for people among organisations.
