Part One
Learning, planning and evaluation
proposal. This system will allow the unitary character of education to
be guaranteed, strictly monitored by the national service for the qual-
ity of education, whilst enhancing cultural diversity and meeting the
needs of the territory.
The curriculum that emerges from the Regulation can be enriched
by disciplines and optional activities, programmed on the basis of an
agreement with Regions, local authorities and school networks.
Organisational and educational lexibility may refer to:
>
The articulation of the school calendar and the annual total hours
of each discipline;
>
The change of the traditional hour as a teaching unit and the use,

>
The articulation of various disciplines and individual paths of reco-

>
The disciplines/activities chosen by individual schools as an inte-
gration to the compulsory share of the curriculum;

The use of teachers in a functional way to the project, provided:
• The compliance with the total annual hours allocated to individ-
ual curricular disciplines,
• Lesson articulation in no less than ive days weekly,
• Freedom of teaching
>
Optional activities/disciplines to be activated in the extra-school
planning.

class unity and encouraging co-operative activities for homogenous/
heterogeneous groups, through action-research models.
Each school can independently choose and adopt, for students eval-
uation, a system of “credits” to certify the skills acquired in extracur-
ricular activities, that can allow the integration of young people into
the society and the world of work, facilitating the orientation and
training, or to discover paths for the recovery of “educational debts”.
The ability to create networks between schools, to make arrange-
ments with public and private entities, that are different types of
networks, will promote research, updating, teaching, exchange of
information and materials, and the acquisition, in a consortium,
of goods and services. Individual schools or schools in the Consor-
tium will be allowed to sign agreements or contracts with state or
private universities, private organisations or associations, will be
