What ITIS Galileo Ferraris does

ITIS Galileo Ferraris is a public Italian technical industrial secondary school (Istituto Tecnico Industriale) located in the Scampia district of Naples, Italy, at Via A. Labriola, Lotto 2G. It operates under the Italian Ministry of Education (Ministero dell'Istruzione e del Merito) and serves secondary school students aged 14-19, as well as adult learners through the Corso Serale evening program, with specializations in information technology, electronics, and related technical disciplines. The institution delivers officially recognized technical diplomas with European equivalence and participates in EU exchange programs such as Erasmus+.

The school's core technology stack consists of the FAD (Formazione A Distanza) distance learning platform built on Google Classroom and Google Meet, the @School electronic register for student records and grade management, Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft productivity tools, and Cisco Networking Academy curriculum for industry-aligned networking certifications. Payment processing is handled through PagoPA integration. The institution supplements its core academic program with add-on initiatives including PNRR-funded infrastructure projects, Scuola Viva regional programs, PON FSE/FESR projects, EIPASS digital certification, and the FutureLAB innovation laboratory.

As a public educational institution, ITIS Galileo Ferraris does not generate commercial revenue. Its funding flows from Italian Ministry of Education allocations, EU program grants (Erasmus+), national recovery funds (PNRR), and regional Neapolitan programs (Scuola Viva, PON). Education is free for Italian citizens, and student enrollment is conducted through the national Iscrizioni Online portal. The school distributes information through its official website, orientation events, virtual school tours, and the Ministry of Education's enrollment system, targeting prospective students and their families in the Campania region.
