Il "Rapporto Faure" e le ricadute sul sistema scolastico italiano

The Faure Report represents in several respects a fundamental, pioneering step in grasping the evolution of certain trends that are still ongoing. In the first place, in today’s globalised world, documents originating from supranational bodies, and therefore unrelated to the usual lines of pedagogical research elaborated in the various national spheres, have taken on increasing importance. The authority of these new principals has forced the various countries to confront these proposals, in which, it should be noted, the close relationship between the education system and the economic system is very often favoured. As it is clear from the present essay, the effects in our country of the Faure Report are measurable in a profound paradigm shift, at the level of scholastic and educational culture, which has seen a radical change in traditional models over the long term, both in terms of the primacy of state schools, and in terms of the declining role of pedagogical knowledge in terms of its importance in school policies. These are processes that cannot be derived exclusively from the Faure Report, but which have found authoritative support in that document.
