Stop the entrance tests for the degree courses in Medicine and Surgery, Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics and Veterinary Medicine . The limited number remains (it increases from 20 to 25 thousand) but access to the faculties is free and students will be evaluated after one semester.
The innovation was presented today in the Senate by the president of the Education Commission Roberto Marti, the government hopes to introduce it as early as the 2025-26 academic year but it depends on the timing of the approval of the bill in Parliament.
After a first semester with open access, the continuation of studies in the second semester will be conditioned by the achievement of all the exams scheduled in the first semester and by the position in the national merit ranking . Students who do not pass the selection for the second semester will still be able to use the credits acquired in the first six months to enroll in other degree courses and will not lose the academic year.
The text, approved by the Senate Education Committee, must now pass to the House and then to the Chamber.
"The test with schizophenic questions is abolished, with an extemporaneous evaluation of multiple choice tests. This is a delegation law, the details will be specified in the delegation", clarified the president of the Senate Health Commission, Francesco Zaffini.
