Happy Birthday Mickey 's change for the better universities
university reform on the political climate is rapidly changing. The leading edge of the "no" to the action of the reform government is no longer compact and, day after day, is crumbling, isolating the left and the extremist fringe. Praise believe the most recent measurements (the Decree on resources for the recruitment of young researchers and the bill on the reform guidelines adopted by the Council of Ministers last week) were expressed by the President of the Republic, Giorgio Napolitano, the top of the Confindustria, Emma Marcegaglia, and some politically independent rectors of major universities (Enrico slopes of the University of Milan, Francesco Profumo of Politecnico di Torino, Vincenzo Milanesi of the University of Padua, Luigi Frati della Sapienza di Roma).
Consent for the government stems from awareness that, as it is, the Italian university is simply indefensible. Is very expensive to the state, but produces bad results, as evidenced by the number of graduates than that of Chile and a low contribution to scientific research in all fields.
That cost is an absurd that the majority reported so far with little effect. But there is still time to recover, and - above all - the arguments.
The essay "The university made up" the teacher of Roberto Perotti Bocconi provides some answers about animals. Just read the chapter in which data in hand, demolishes some myths in education university, myths on which the left and Veltroni's company built the youth protests of the season. The myth par excellence is that public spending on university education in Italy, with $ 7,723 per student, is the last places in the world rankings, behind Spain and Portugal, with a slight margin ahead of Hungary, Mexico, Greece and Poland. This statistic says Perotti, however, has a drawback: takes into account the spending per student enrolled, which is not good. In Italy, in fact, about half of university students (one million 800 thousand) are not enrolled, because it is off course, some of which work and some do not attend classes for many different reasons. The situation in the rest of the world is simply inconceivable. For this, says Perotti, if one takes into account more correctly the relationship between spending and university students attending classes, the per capita outlay of the Italian State ($ 16,000) climbed to fourth place in the world, behind the United States , Sweden and Switzerland and France and Britain distances of $ 5,000.
is why it is worthy of great support for the idea of \u200b\u200bthe government to introduce measures over the next few incentives to encourage students to graduate on schedule by the curricula and to deter (perhaps with university fees heavier) the "off course" , which are now 667 000, of which one third is not working.
that of the "off course" is therefore one of the major problems of the Italian university, as it weighs the costs and takes away resources that could be more usefully employed to recruit young researchers, rejuvenate the teaching staff, which is one of the older world, to invest more in scholarships, residences for students and renewal of infrastructure. Measures that are now possible only in very limited extent for both the general government budget, and because most of the university expenditure is intended purposes brainy and patronage, such as hundreds of faculty offices offices in the most remote villages, the courses with fewer than 15 members, not to mention the search list to be paid at the foot of certain faculties to study the psyche of cats and dogs, rather than the ass of Monte Amiata.
is obvious that a series of reforms of the government to put an end to this waste and rewards efficiency and research, as the decree last week, at the end off topics on the left. Veltroni and the company had focused on the school and the university to try to undermine the trust between the government of Berlusconi and Italy, perhaps groped his shoulder. And the left has not hesitated, with the help of the CGIL, a militant propaganda in schools and recruit just between the "off course" the organizers and the vanguards of the marches that took to the streets. Whether it was just "off course", he also noted anyone who has seen only once in the Tg1 Riotta, who for more than a month has fanned the flames of protest.
Now this game has been unmasked. In the coming weeks will communicate more effectively, which reveals all the myths of the Left, including the real costs of "off course". Only then can the government and the majority will re-establish the truth of the facts and recover the full consent.
Here are the main points of the decree with the urgent measures for the university, approved Friday, November 7 by the Council of Ministers. • Taking
3 000 researchers. Since 2009, three thousand more seats are provided for researchers and incentives for universities to encourage retirement. For each teacher will retire two researchers. Allocated 150 million euro to promote the turn over. 60 percent of recruitment will be for researchers. Competition notices already banned are excluded from turnover: 2,300 so researchers will be put in order. • Stop
universities with budgets in red. The universities with the financial statements at a loss can not banish competitions for teachers or administrative personnel.
• Transparency in competitions. To end the patronage of barons, the committees that govern the competitions will be made as follows: a pool of professors will be elected, within which will be drawn the members of the jury. • Incentives for universities
virtuous. Established a fund of 500 million. The decree states that the 7 per cent will go to university with scientific, and educational organization best. When fully operational, the share will rise to 30 percent. In 2011 the Universities of € 1.8 billion will be virtuous.
• Scholarships and university residences. The decree set aside 135 million euro to 180 000 scholarships to deserving college students but lacking the necessary tools. Another 65 million have been allocated to achieve 1,700 beds in university housing for low-income students.
