The
“Istituto Tecnico Industriale G. Marconi” (G. Marconi
Technical and Industrial Institute) is located in the town of Rovereto
(Province of Trento), in the region of Trentino Alto-Adige (South
Tyrol), in Northern Italy, about 180 km. from the Austrian border.
Our school is large and modern, with about one thousand pupils aged
14-18 and one hundred fifty teachers. Its duration is 5 years and
embodies two fundamental kinds of Italian high schools/colleges :
the “Liceo Scientifico Tecnologico” (Technical-Scientific
Lyceum), and the “Istituto tecnico Industriale” (Technical
Institute). The “High School” is oriented towards studying
both Arts and Sciences, and is conceived as a university preparatory
course. The “Istituto Tecnico” is a typical type of Lyceum,
mainly oriented towards practical subjects, in our case Electronics,
Computer Science etc. At the end of the course, pupils become qualified
technicians and decide whether to enter the job market or to enrol
at a university.
........................
Our school offers three courses in:
1. Electronics and telecoms
2. Computer Science
3. “Liceo scientifico tecnologico” (Technical-Scientific
Lyceum)
The technical school is divided into two sub-courses:
Biennio (Biennial) (grades 1 and 2, with pupils aged 14-16): teaching
general subjects.
Triennio (Triennial) (grades 3, 4 and 5, with pupils aged 17-19):
teaching general and technical subjects.
The
ITI Marconi is a state school founded in 1962. The innovative nature
of the school and the industrial boom which characterised the time,
contributed to its progressive growth. The school gradually introduced
today’s specialisations, launching “Electronics and Telecoms”
in 1971, “Computer Science” in 1974 and “Liceo Scientifico
Teconologico” in 1995.
The school is well-rooted in our socio-economical system, having forged
a number of alliances with universities, industries and cultural institutions
on a local, national and European international level. The specialisations
in Electronics-Telecoms and in Computer Science are the only available
in Trentino. As a consequence, in addition to pupils coming from Rovereto
and nearby villages, the school hosts young people from all over the
Province.
