System Change Case Studies - Education innovation at system level in Italy
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.
