The
Evolution of School Policy on failure and underachievement:
the case of Canton Ticino |
|
| |
|
|
|
The article traces the evolution
of educational policy on school failure and underachievement
due to different causes in Canton Ticino during the last 50
years: period when the area underwent important demographic
and economic change. The educational system chosen was headed
by the concept of integration and this has had radical effects
on the organization of the lower secondary school. The democratization
of education has changed the relationship between society and
school and the reform of special educational needs and the setting
up of a service of pedagogical help ( Servizio di sostegno pedagogico
) led to a new perception of what differences in learning ability
and failure in school could mean. During the last 30 years the
available special services have been reinforced and the concepts
and practice dealing with underachievement have undergone constant
revision. However, the need for further change can be perceived. |
