D – Saggistica varia

This work aims to analyze the issue of equity in education in a comparative way, using international data (from the OECD - PISA project). In the first part there is a description of the policy change in educational field compared to the stability of the impact of family background effect on skills achievements and school career; there is also a theoretical proposal that will be tested in the following paragraphs-hypothesis of multiple contingencies. In the second part we examine the three principal measures of equity in education: inter-individual equity, the intercategorical equity and the minimum threshold. In the third part we try to explain, using our hypothesis, the Italian singularity: the reasons that make the Italian education system are ineffective and at the same time that unfair.
