During the last ten years, in Italy, we have had a lot of bad attempts to reform the education systems and, as a consequence, a strong upsurge against that.
Both students and professors have been triying to defend their school system whose need for  an improvement was addressed with nothing bu a shameful attack
On one hand there was a University`s system reform, that, according with European guidelines (the so-called “Bologna process”), has introduced the 3+2 system; later more changes were applied with the intention to put the education systems under companies’ control, privatizing some services and cutting money for researchers.
On the other hand, surely, the substantial reform is the one concerning the school system.
The Gelmini reform, the latest of a series of changes, is clearly an attempt to dismantle public education and to disqualify it.
The keyword is cut. The introduction of the single teacher, the increase in class size, the reduction of working hours, the closure of full-time and the outsourcing of many services clearly show that this reform is not based on any clear educational intent, but instead on the idea that education should be private, which means ideological, Catholic, controlled, elitarian.
What we want is to inform you that students, parents and teachers have struggled in recent years, by reporting about the protests that they have put in place and their claims and achievements.
Making a brief historical overview on the Italian education system, we take our example of how the attack on education is a problem which goes beyond national borders and how the pressures of the company and a certain kind of liberal policies lead to the same problems in all European countries.
To show in depth the contradictions in management education in Italy, we will analyze the example of the University of L’Aquila, the city hit by an earthquake in 2009, and of the struggles carried out by high school students in recent years.
We think this might be an interesting comparison, to better understand how students need to make a move to claim a high-quality public education. Education should be not serving money and the capitalist system, but it should ground a real Open University.
