At the start of the 2026-2027 school year, Italian educators engaged in philosophical discussions regarding the teaching profession. Events such as the presentation ‘L’arte di insegnare, ovvero d’essere felici’ emphasized the link between teacher happiness and effective instruction, while upcoming webinars aimed to explore the deeper purpose of teaching through various testimonies.

By late October, the focus shifted toward administrative updates and civic education. Authorities announced deadlines for training courses and reporting, alongside the opening of registrations for the 2027 INVALSI national learning assessments. In response to student protests and vandalism occurring in mid-October, schools were directed via Circular No. 84 to dedicate time to civic education, specifically discussing the legal frameworks of protest and the situation in France.
