The Presidency of the Council of Ministers Decree (DPCM) of 4 August 2023 defines the university and academic initial training pathway for secondary school teachers. ANVUR has drafted the Guidelines for evaluating the initial accreditation requirements of these study programmes for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 academic years.

The Guidelines take into account various aspects, including the role and competencies of the Programme Director, the consistency of the educational offer with the required professional profiles, and the qualifications of lecturers and tutors.

They also assess the availability of adequate classrooms and laboratories, both for in-person and distance learning activities, as well as the alignment between the maximum number of admissible students and the available resources. These evaluations are also supported by the assessments of the Evaluation Boards (NdV) of universities and AFAM institutions. The objective is to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the initial training of future teachers.
