Italian university enrolments fell by
40,000 over the past 14 years, the AlmaLaurea think tank said
Thursday.
"There was a contraction of 13% between 2003/4 and 2017/18",
it said.
The fall was more accentuated, 26%, in the poorer south of
Italy, it said.
It was also sharper among those who graduated from
professional and technical schools and those who came from less
privileged households, the report said.
"This poses clear risks of polarisation," it said.
The report was presented by the dean of Rome's Sapienza
University, Eugenio Gaudio, and the head of AlmaLaurea, Ivano
Dionigi.
