• The national school system is run by the State
  through the Ministry of Education(MIUR),the
  Regional and Provincial School Offices.
• Schools have their own Teaching, Organizational,
  Researching and Testing Autonomy.
  
  Then there is the Vocational Training
  which depends on Regions and that gets in touch
  the initial and continuous training with the job
  market, on a local level.

• In Emilia Romagna there are the private training
  agencies which are supported by the Region
  itself.
• There are also other kinds of governance which
  derive from the reformation of the Constitution.
  They give more independence to the various
  schools with reference to the working-out of
  Curricula and offer a wider chance to compare
  themselves to Public and Private Institutions.

• On occasion of the recent law of raising the
  compulsory attendance to school till the age of
  16, the European Union has introduced the
  Competences of the Active Citizens.
• In Piacenza these indications are also supported
  by processes of research-action and involve the
  cooperation of Schools, Vocational Training
  Agencies and the CDE ( Centre for the
  Educational Record)

This is a project which involves the cooperation
of three schools

• a secondary school with an emphasis on
  humanities (Liceo Classico Gioia)
• a secondary school with an emphasis on Sciences
  (Liceo Scientifico Respighi)
• a secondary school with an emphasis on the
  Social Environment (Liceo Colombini)
• and the Vocational Training Centre ENAIP PC

The general diagram of the Project shows the
indications to follow in order to start a common
path by keeping in mind the various typologies of
schools and the possibilities the students have
to exit from the School System just to enter
the vocational training without lacking their
degree of competences because this concerns the
citizens competences, too

Competences numbers 1, 2, 4 and 6 are developed
in a common way by the three Schools, while
competences numbers 3 and 5 are developed
according to the different Courses.

• The project aims to show the points of contact in
  a general training but also it wants
  to demonstrate how it's possible to enrich
  the Citizens Personality
• through the specific knowledges of the different
  courses.

• In the province of Piacenza schools, local
  administrations and enterprises have been
  working for a long time
• to raise the quality of learning
• to decrease the number of students who quit the
  school
• and
• to improve the alternation between school and
  work.

An activity of research has been conducted by
the school and vocational  training's
teachers and the CDE to create the structure of
the system and to share the students necessary
competences which can be used as criteria for
the quality of the school
14
and educational courses during the first two
years of secondary school, and as a threshold for
the students ' passage from a school to another
one, or from the school to the vocational
training or viceversa.

• The identified competences are effective for the
  whole provincial territory and they have been
  listed according to their learning difficulty in
  order to be a sort of
• diagnosis of the definciecies or to be a credit.
