Italy is lagging the rest of Europe
for its number and percentage of university graduates, Trento
University Dean Paolo Collini said Thursday ahead of the
University G7 in Udine on June 29-30.
In Udine, Collini is set to take part in a workshop on
'Universities and Economic Development' coordinated by
ex-Bergamo dean Stefano Paleari, currently one of Alitalia's
three extraordinary commissioners.
Collini said "there is no doubt that the economic conditions
of our country are one of the elements impeding access to
university training
"Another element that affects it at the level of the number
of graduates or persons who access third-level training is the
fact that, in Italy, there is no tertiary non-university
training," Collini said.
"Other countries, on the other hand, have a tradition of
non-academic training which is qualified as tertiary training".
