Italian educational reform protests

Overview

In September 2026, educators in Pisa issued a formal motion against reforms from the Ministry of Education and Merit. The faculty at ‘Filippo Buonarroti’ high school raised concerns regarding school infrastructure, schedule reorganizations, and increased rigidity in student discipline. They further criticized new National Guidelines as being “traditionalist and hyper-identitarian” and warned that proposed legislation regarding antisemitism could result in “normative censorship” that limits academic discussion.

By early October, specialized teachers in technical institutes also voiced opposition to a School Decree approved on September 24, 2026. These educators argued that the reform marginalizes technical drawing by reducing instructional hours, which they claim undermines student training and the professional competence of future workers.
