  • European Schoolnet System Change Case Studies: Italy

     

    This publication is the second in a series of country case studies on system change in education, examining how education systems support innovation at scale, through different mechanisms, such as large-scale and comprehensive initiatives, intermediary institutions, networks, and system-level stewardship. Following the first case study on Portugal's Digital Transition Action Plan for education, this report focuses on Italy, with particular attention to two long-standing national initiatives coordinated by INDIRE (the Italian National Institute for Documentation, Innovation and Educational Research): Avanguardie Educative and Piccole Scuole.These two initiatives offer a distinctive lens on system-level innovation driven through horizontal collaboration among schools, rather than primarily through top-down reform instruments.
