Department of Education (Italy)

The German-speaking Directorate of Education is an institution of the Autonomous Province of Bozen – South Tyrol. It is specifically responsible for the organisation and administration of the German-language education system in South Tyrol. In addition to the German-speaking directorate of education, there are also an Italian-speaking and a Ladin-speaking Directorate of Education. The Directorate of Education is responsible for various aspects of education, including school planning, school development, curricula, teaching materials, teacher remuneration and monitoring school quality. It ensures that schools teaching in German receive the appropriate resources and support to meet the educational needs of the German-speaking population. It is important to note that South Tyrol is featured by a complex ethnic and linguistic diversity, which is also reflected in the education system.
