The enrollment period for the 2021/2022 school year is close at hand (there is time until January 25): which high schools will be the most chosen by the students who are attending the eighth grade this year?
A preview of the preferences, forwarded through the website of the Ministry of Education by their families, is possible thanks to Tuttoscuola, who processed the MI data relating to enrollments for the current school year, thus obtaining a first forecast, based on on trends that usually repeat themselves, with minimal differences, from year to year.
The Skuola.net site has summarized the most relevant data.
The Center-South chooses high schools, first of all scientific and classical
Last year the various high school addresses, as always, dominated the scene welcoming 56.3% of the boys.
Albeit with differences between North and South: in fact there are over 20 percentage points that separate Lazio - which recorded a total of 68.9% of choices - and Emilia Romagna, standing at 47.4%.
Lazio, however, is not the only region where young people opt by far more for high school training than the other proposals: in fact, Abruzzo and Campania and in general throughout the Center-South - Islands included - where on average 64% of enrollments in various high school addresses are reached.
Focusing on individual high schools, it can be seen that the classical high school, which at national level obtained 6.7% of the choices of children, in Sicily, Calabria and Lazio registers a real boom, with over 10% of total enrollments;
on the other hand, in Emilia-Romagna the same address is chosen by just 3.8% of young people.
The situation of the scientific high school is not very different: in all three of its branches (traditional science, applied sciences and sports) there is a national average of 26.2%;
go far beyond - between 30% and over 32% - Molise, Abruzzo, Lazio and Campania, while with percentages of choice decidedly below the average there are not a few northern regions, above all the Veneto, which shows the lowest overall satisfaction ( 21.3%).
The attractiveness of the Linguistic course should be noted, which has a national average approval rating of 8.8%, higher than that of the classical high school.
In the middle are the two addresses of the high school for Human Sciences: between 9.8% and 7% of enrollments, for an average value of 8.7%, without major territorial differences.
Same homogeneity, albeit with lower numbers, for Artistic high schools and for Music and Choreutics.
Technical institutes: the best results in the North
Italy also splits on the Technical Institutes chapter: the differences between the North and South of the peninsula are in fact evident.
The two large families into which the technicians are divided - the economic one and the technological one - twelve months ago were chosen by 30.8% of young people nationwide.
However, it is interesting to discover that a distance of 16 percentage points is reached between the two areas of the peninsula: the two peaks occur in Veneto, where 38.7% of students chose a technical institute and, as a plus point low, in Lazio, where the technical institutes were selected on average by 22.5% of the eighth grade boys who now attend the first superior.
Among the regions most attracted by technicians we also find Emilia R., Friuli VG, Lombardy and Piedmont (all over 33% of preferences).
Finally, the territorial gap is not so evident for Professional Institutes, chosen on average by 12.9% of young people;
with a gap between the various regions that does not exceed 6.8 percentage points.
