Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Turin cost us €3000 a year plus registration, exam, diploma fees etc. You name it and there was an extra fee for it. Cheaper than the UK, yes, but wages as way lower here.

Based on the OECD results, the UK needs to reform schools too.:rofl: No, I'm not saying Italian schools need reforming, far from it.

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Do some googling to see what you actually need to pay.:sneaky:

Re: Schools, teachers, kids and parents. Education in general.

Not really the school's fault. It's a tax and yes, its annual. Then there are the exam taxes...... It should only be €15/20 and it is deductible. Any more and it's voluntary.:sneaky:
