THE SCHOOL
The School offers three different courses:
● Business, Accounting, Trade
(3 years local degree -5 years national
degree)
● Social and Educational Works (5 years)
● Tourism and In/Out Coming Services (5

There are in Florence a lot of Chinese guys,
attending our school. So the balance between
Italian and Chines students marks the whole
school life, from teaching to free time.

Comparing the last five years data, we can look :
1) the percentage of born in Italy (Second
Generation) is grown up; all those students attended
the italian school and there are few “rientrados” .
2) the most of Chinese guys born in China and then
immigrated in Florence (First Generation) attends
almost 1 or 2 years at secunday school before; the
percentage increased since 59 to 70%.
3) there are less new immigrated because the
immigration wawes from '90 are quite stopped; the
percentage is now the half (since 12 to 6); only in 20122013 threre were exceptionally 53 arrivals.
TROUBLES FOR CHINESE GUYS
Breack of school path: they often go and come
from Italy to China; the guys attend high school
without any linguistic competence neither in
Italian nor in Chinese.
Different
contents
elementary/secundary
school.
and
skills
between
Chinese
and
Italian
Different curricolum between Chinese (3 yearsnot compulsory) and Italian (5 yearscompulsory) High School.
Poor selfconsciousness
to choose
implement own school and life project.
and
TROUBLES FOR ITALIAN TEACHERS
Hard control on school attendance because
most guys stay abroad from school and work in
local Chinese enterprises.
Hard control on truant guys; they often attend
forbidden game room secretly but there is a
“wall” on communicating between school and
families.
Strong counseling to remotivate uninterested
guys missing any family support about a school
and life project.
