Through inclusion and right to education: for the development of educational co-responsibility in the Reception Integration System, between schools, territory and families with a migratory background

Abstract

The school-family relationship in integration processes of students with a migratory background has been an important topic for studies and researches in the socio-educational field for several years. With the aim to promote intercultural education it is necessary to develop policies that can be activated at national level, defining innovative approaches and methodologies. The educational co-responsibility between different actors ensuring the right to study and quality education plays a decisive role. The Italian Ministry of Education and Merit has activated regulatory indications to pursue the goal of school integration through the strengthening of school-family relationships. At the same time, the 2020 reform of the Reception and Integration System, introducing the concept of integrated reception, has put in place new requests for inclusion and specific educational needs of children from families seeking asylum and holders of international protection. The essay, after a review of the ministerial guidelines, turns to the area of the Reception and Integration System, in order to identify, starting from direct experiences and findings context, some possible proposals for an educational co-responsibility pact between school-family-reception.
