The Italian education system is organized as follows:

 - kindergarten, not compulsory, for children from 3 to 6 years;

  -first cycle of education, compulsory, with a total duration of 8 years, divided into:

  - five-year primary school for pupils aged 6 to 11;

 - first-year secondary school, lasting three years, for  students aged 11 to 14;

 second cycle of education divided into two types of courses:

 - second level secondary school, of five-year duration, for students who have successfully completed the first cycle of education.  The schools organize high school courses, technical institutes and professional institutes for students aged 14 to 19;

 - three-year and four-year courses of education and vocational training (IeFP) of regional competence, always addressed to students who have successfully completed the first cycle of education.

 At the end of lower secondary school, one can enter the university.

 Article 33 of the Italian Constitution establishes two fundamental principles: the obligation for the State to offer a state school system to all young people and the right, for natural and legal persons, to create schools and educational institutions without charge  for the state.

 The private schools are authorized to issue qualifications having the same legal value as those of the corresponding state schools.

 USA

 The American school system is managed by the public sector and is mandatory up to the age of 18 (16 in some states).  In the United States there are the most expensive schools in the world as far as the University is concerned, whether public schools are mentioned or private schools: the annual enrollment fees are around $ 20,000 for public schools  , as they arrive and can often exceed $ 60,000 for private universities.  Until high school, the school is completely free, including books and registration.  In the event that children do not attend school, the State obliges parents to let their children attend school.

 The American educational system is organized as follows:

 -Pre-School, Nursery school or Head Start;

 - Elementary School.

 -Middle school

 - High school

 -College or University

IMMIGRATION

 Immigration in italy Where do the women and men arrive? women arrive to asian country like Ukraine, Russia etc. etc. because they found more jobs in italy than in their country. However the job is never a very good one, they usually had to do the babysitter, caregiver etc. etc. Instead men arrive from Africa, mostly from Nigeria and Albania, India and china. The reason is always the same, they come because of war in their country, because they didn't find a job etc. etc. But in italy they are not very lucky, because they have to do always the worst jobs like framer, cleaner etc. etc. Now let’s talk about the history of immigration The history of immigration in Italy began more than forty-five years ago. First, the Tunisians came to Apulia , followed by women from catholic countries of africa and south America, working as waitresses in 1974. Than in 1976 we have the Yugoslavian who helped the population of Friuli in reconstruction work for earthquake. After this 2 big events the immigrates from Yugoslavia and Africa/south America became to get distributed in south and north of Italy, and this is how the immigration in Italy began. Now we gonna talk about 3 pro and 3 cons:

3 pro: 1: immigration diversifies local economies immigrants bring new perspectives, experience, and ideas to they local communities 2: it increase the population base Their presence bring more than an exchange of cultures. It allows for more knowledge and wisdom to be shared with others. 3: immigration give benefit to Italian workers Immigration workers are not the only ones that benefit from their presence at the local level. The complementary workers involved in each industry benefit as well. That means supervisors, attorneys, and translators all have new opportunities available to them which they may not have had otherwise. 3 cons: 1: immigration can cause religious clash the meeting between catholicism and the foreign religion can cause discomfort that can end in true and dangerous clashes. 8: It can place stress on local social services. Having a large group of immigrants move into a region can also place stress points on social services related to employment. There may be an increased need for food bank services, food stamps, and basic housing services. That can place
stress on the budgets of these services, which may encourage local councils to propose higher tax rates to cover potential shortfalls
