What is non-state school?

The constitutional principle of freedom of education finds realization on the national territory through state and non-state schools. In fact, Article 33 of the Constitution allows entities and private individuals to establish schools and educational institutions. Such schools, defined as non-state, can be:

• paritarian (recognized under Law 62 of March 10, 2000)
• non-paritarian (Decree Law 250 of December 5, 2005, converted by Law 27 of February 3, 2006)
• foreign (Presidential Decree 389 of April 18, 1994)

Article 33 of the Constitution allows entities and private individuals to establish schools and educational institutions. Such schools, defined as non-state, may be:

• paritarian (recognized under Law 62 of March 10, 2000)
• non-paritarian
• foreign (Presidential Decree 389 of April 18, 1994)

Paritarian schools

Carry out a public service. Recognition of parity therefore guarantees:

• the equalization of students' rights and duties
• the same manner of conducting state examinations
• the fulfillment of compulsory education
• the qualification to issue degrees having the same legal value from state schools

This brings paritarian schools into the national education system and commits them

• to accept all pupils who accept their educational project and apply to enroll, including pupils and students with disabilities
• to contribute to achieving the purpose of education and education that the Constitution assigns to schools.

Non-paritarian schools

Are registered in regional lists updated annually. The regular attendance of non-paritarian schools by pupils constitutes fulfillment of compulsory education, but they cannot issue degrees with legal value nor intermediate or final certificates with legal certification value.
Therefore, students must take an aptitude exam at the end of each schooling course or if they want to transfer to a state or paritarian school.
