On the highest step ever, Davide Bartoli of the IIS F. Alberghetti in Imola. Below is the comment by Maria Assunta Palermo (Director General of the Ministry of Education) and the award ceremony.The Olympics represent a unique opportunity to bring attention to the extraordinary qualities of the most brilliant of our schools, enhancing their exceptional skills and constant commitment; but they also have the important function of reiterating the fundamental role of digital training in schools, as an essential tool for the future of our young people and their integration into the world of work. And it is precisely to the theme of training that the course on Computer Science topics related to the contents of the Computer Science Olympics, aimed at teachers and this year in its 10th edition, pertains.
Schools and school representatives interested in participating in the 21st edition can immediately fill out the registration form through the official website. Palermo continues.
The Ministry renews its strong commitment to promoting and supporting a competition whose educational value is very high; proof of this is the inclusion of the Italian IT Olympics within the annual program for the enhancement of excellence for high school students.
