South

and highly fragmented, with deep divisions between and within regions

• with regard to training, equal opportunities for access and achievement

• teacher efficacy, didactic innovation and the efficient use of human

Data refer of a wide gap between the diffusion of new ICT in day-to-day life

and their use in schools

which denote a divide between students’ activity within the classroom and at home

A series of opportunities, financed by the Ministry, local administrations and European Structural Funds, are enhancing innovation for competitiveness

to provide students and teachers of South Italy with the basic skills to use ICTs in the teaching/learning process in order to align to the European average

The Secondary High School “Publio

Virgilio Marone” has taken advantage of these opportunities

to plan effective actions aimed at overcoming the

divide with the North of Italy and Europe
