Fourth Survey on Italian Teachers

On June 22, a Study Day will be held at the University of Milano‑Bicocca to present the results of the Fourth Survey on Italian teachers, promoted by the Be for Education Foundation in collaboration with the University of Milano‑Bicocca and the IARD Institute.

The initiative offers an opportunity for dialogue among scholars and researchers on the transformations of the teaching profession and the challenges currently facing the school system.
During the morning, the results of the survey will be presented, with a focus on several key dimensions: the composition of the teaching profession, the relationship between teachers and students, and the everyday dynamics that shape life in classrooms.
The work will continue in the afternoon with sessions dedicated to the heterogeneity of the student body, the evolving identity and professional practices of teachers, and the role of education policies.
The day will conclude with a discussion on the future developments of the research.

The event will begin at 10:30 a.m. at the University of Milano‑Bicocca.

“In costante divenire: insegnare tra molteplici impegni in contesti plurali”

The volume In costante divenire: insegnare tra molteplici impegni in contesti plurali, edited by Gianluca Argentin (il Mulino), is now available in bookstores. It presents the results of the Fourth Survey on Italian teachers. T

Today, after more than two years of work and thanks to a collaboration between the University of Milano‑Bicocca, the Be for Education Foundation, and the IARD Institute, we have a new and updated picture of Italian schools from the inside, through the opinions, feelings, and teaching practices of its teaching staff.

The Fourth Survey on Italian teachers is the largest and most in‑depth study ever conducted on Italian teachers in terms of scale and representativeness: in 2025, nearly 10,000 teachers from more than 400 school complexes across the country responded to a questionnaire developed with contributions from a wide network of scholars from various universities.
The result is one of the richest and most significant information platforms currently available on Italian schools. The volume is also available in open access.
