Hands on wallet
How much can such misunderstood digital education affect the future of Italian teenagers? The director of the Agnelli Foundation Andrea Gavosto and the researcher Barbara Romano took care of the accounts. Taking a World Bank study based on the postulate that each additional year of education increases a student’s future earnings prospects by 10% and vice versa, they calculated that school time lost during the three and a half months of spring closure The past could result in a loss of more than 21,000 euros throughout your working life, with a salary reduction of almost 900 euros per year at the beginning of your career. These are rough estimates, but even those who do different calculations, like the Roars site that has redone the math, fail to question the educational risk of computer lessons.
One wonders what will become of the commitments made by our country to reach the goal of 40 percent of young graduates: we should have cut it this year, but we stayed in line in Europe, with 27.6 percent. It is difficult to imagine that great progress will be made under these conditions.
Student emergency on the run
Consulting firm McKinsey has also developed a statistical model that measures the impact of the closure of high schools in the United States in terms of months of learning lost. Assuming schools remain closed until Christmas, the damage suffered by students would range from 3-4 months in the best schools to 7-11 months if the teaching is of lower quality, affecting most students from low-income families and weaker. . According to the latest Eurostat data, in 2019 in Italy there were 561,000 “early school leavers”, young people who dropped out of school before obtaining their diploma. The risk, if distance learning becomes the predominant modality, is that this bleeding will increase.
And to say that a few months have passed since the last alarm launched by Istat about another sad Italian record: that of Neet, young people including graduates who no longer work or study: they have now reached the record number of two million boys and girls between 15 and 29 years: 22.2% of the total, compared to a European average of 12.5%.
