Italy

A positive aspect of our school is the timetable from Monday to Friday from 7.50 to 1.50 p.m. because when lessons finish we have time to do sport, to relax and do homework. 

A system where students are appreciated when they behave positively.

We think that the IT lab is the best part of our school because it is useful, it is entertaining since all the world is based on technology, but in Italy we have still to deepen our knowledge in this sector. Now we are using “sketch up” which programs in 3D (like Scratch) in a course financed by a resilience national plan which has the aim to help female students to cope better with Technology, Science, Maths, Art.

In the Italian school system they must add more entertaining projects: for example by playing and learning together. If I were a teacher, I would give 20 minutes of relax and play together and then another 20 minutes where you have to repeat the topics and then let the kids play with Wordwall. This way the kids will learn more than normal.

Talking about the educational system in Spain we have to say that there aren't many holidays during the school year.

Students usually stay in the same school from 3 to 16 but also, there are a lot of school in which students finish at the age of 18. Then, they go to universtity. Student use ICT during their classes in order to improve their learning.

Students must study a lot of subjects and do lots of exams and projects, as well.

In mosts schools students start their lessons at 8 o'clock in the morning and finish around 2 pm. During the day they have two breaks. they love playing football, basketball or talking to their friends.
