“With the launch of the Regional Plan on education and professional training – underline the Regional Minister of Education Caterina Miraglia and of Training Severino Nappi – Campania is in the forefront of our country. We lay the foundations for an integrated network between school and world of work, overcoming the concept of experimental interventions and indiscriminate measures, planning a multi-year, systemic intervention. We are building a future for our youth – the Regional Ministers added – in which educational courses are not for their own sake, but shared with the production system. We aim at the naissance of a high-quality school and good, stable employment”.
