(Edizioni Università di Macerata, Italy) Abstracts Elemér Kelemen, Changes in Educational Policy in Eastern Central Europe in the 1990s The study presents the main processes and tendencies of change in educational policy in Eastern Central Europe during the decade following the political turning point of 1990. The survey covers the ‘Visegrad Four’ (the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hun- gary). The introduction outlines the common features of the countries in the region in terms of education, highlighting the contradictory political and economic effects of the change in the system. The changes in educational policy of the last decade are examined in six areas: (1) educational law and administration, (2) funding for education, (3) changes in the school system, (4) changes in content and curriculum, (5) issues concerning teachers, (6) other problems (disadvantaged family backgrounds, ethnic and minority issues, child and youth care and special education). The conclusion emphasises the need for regional cooperation and coordinated improvement. Keywords: Educational Policy; School System; Educational Reform; Central and East- ern Europe; Czech Republic; Poland; Slovakia; Hungary; XXth Century Roberto Sani, Schools in Italy and Democracy Education in the Aftermath of the Second Word War The starting point is the larger historiographical debate, which has recently arisen con- cerning issues such as democracy education and the construction of mass-agreement by the democratic regimes, that were established in Italy and other Western Europe countries, in the aftermath of the Second World War. The A. examines the features and the limits of 8 ABSTRACTS the history of democracy and citizenship education in the Italian school system, inspired by those democratic values which gained force in the period between the fall of the Fascist regime and the war of liberation from the Nazi-Fascism (1943), up to the late fifties of the XX century – when the democratic Republic system was established and consolidated by the ratifying of the Constitution in 1948. A strong debate arose about the process of democratization in the country, and about the new generations’ education in democratic ideals, which were promoted by the anti-Fascist policy towards the end of the Second World War. A new light is thrown on the Sub-Committee for Education of the Allied Mil- itary Government, directed by the American pedagogists Carl Washburn, which played a pre-eminent role in this process. The A. examines the proposals about democracy educa- tion made by the Constituent Assembly responsible for writing the Constitution, and also the global project of democratic citizenship education, planned by the Minister of Educa- tion Guido Gonella (1946-1951) inside his proposal of the Italian school system reform. Even though his project, presented in 1951 to the Parliament, was not approved, at the end of the 50’s the new Minister of Education Aldo Moro (1958) finally supported the introduction of “civic education” in the Italian school.
