One in three Italian students
believes their studies won't be useful to them in the future, a
study by Deloitte and Nextplora showed Tuesday.
As well, one in three students interviewed said they would
not hire themselves if they were a business owner, while one in
four replied that they did not know what line of work they want
to go into.
Hard work was rated as the most important factor to
guarantee success in life, followed by luck, talent, knowledge
and, in fifth place, education.
About 41% of students pointed to the lack of business
involvement in schools as a negative factor.
Companies share this view, believing that students' first
contact with business comes too late.
The quality of education was viewed positively by 50% of
parents and 40% of teachers who also took part in the study.
However, many respondents felt it had worsened over time.
About 83% of Italian teachers were satisfied with their
job. The study also showed Italy's teachers make more of an
effort than their European peers to participate in further
training.
