Italian academic qualifications
and training diplomas do not reflect the level of competence of
the person who has earned them, the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development said Friday. In Italy, the OECD
said, "qualifications and diplomas give a very weak indication
of the actual competence and abilities of the students and
workers who possess them". The OECD added that students who do
"high-level" specialised degrees manage to make progress in the
workplace but "the remainder of graduates remain trapped in a
labour market which places them in positions of scant quality
and for which, usually, they are over-qualified".
