In each section the maximum number of students is 25, raised to 28 in special cases, but reduced to 20, maximum 23, if disabled students are enrolled. In state schools the day is covered by two teachers who are working in co-presence for a few hours . There is, for an hour and a half per week per section, also a teacher of Catholic religion, if families agree.

With the reform of the cycles, that just took place, the students will complete high school at 18 and not any more at 19 as it is now. They will enter university or higher technical education with a year earlier. At the place of the existing elementary schools and secondary schools, there will be 2 cycles: 7 years of basic school, secondary school for 5 years. "After the first cycle students can choose from 5 addresses: classical-humanistic, scientific, technical and technological art, music.
As for Professional (vocational ) schools with reform they acquire a new identity, based on the culture of economic and productive sectors of national importance that characterize the 2 key areas, Services and Industry and Handicrafts, which includes the 6 addresses. All training courses lasting five years and are divided into two year periods and in a fifth year, after which students take the examination for the diploma of vocational education. The new vocational schools have a legal system very flexible to interact with the territorial and productive systems to meet the needs of the labor and the professions in a "Glocal" dimension, permanently open to innovation.

To enhance the language skills of students in colleges and technical institutes it is expected to teach a curriculum subject in a foreign language among those provided by the curriculum (CLIL, Content and Language Integrated Learning).
An aspect of innovation of cycles reorganization are the fruitful collaborations with the working world and with companies and industry to manage students’ learning in a working context . Our school priority is to set more fruitful collaborations with the working world and business sector in order to manage student learning in a work-related learning context .The work-related learning path aims to strengthen the ties of educational institutions with the working world, to empower students by giving them the opportunity to experience the business directly in the company. This is the most complete experience since students become the protagonists and they are required to demonstrate responsibility. Our school has set forty different agreement with the territory for the different fields of study.
There are three fields of
study due to the recent reorganization of the cycles of vocational schools in
Italy : hotel course and "services
for enogastronomy and hotel hospitality", electrical course and "
services for the maintenance and technical assistance" chemistry-biology course and "industrial
