| Summary: | The phenomenon of early school leaving has worrying dimensions in Italy, both in its explicit (according to recent ISTAT data from 2023 on Early Leaving From Education And Training) and implicit form (as shown by the latest INVALSI Report of 2024). Although there is, in general, a slight improvement compared to the surveys of previous years, the situation still appears discouraging. Especially if, alongside these types of early school leaving, we consider a third one that normally escapes quantitative surveys and the usual interpretations of the phenomenon: a silent and creeping form that coincides with the waste of the potential for emotional and existential development of young people. This paper focuses on the latter aspect and on the need to identify possible pedagogical responses to rediscover the meaningfulness of the school experience. |
