When families lack economic means, young people's intellectual and social development suffers as well. This is referred to as educational poverty, a condition that is exacerbated by economic poverty and impacts 22.2% of young individuals in Italy, denying them of the essential resources necessary to establish a future. It is a cross-cutting phenomena caused by a lack of material resources and spending capacity, resulting in the inability to participate in key educational, cultural, and recreational activities. The divide is even more pronounced in the South, where inequality continues to increase. While some students acquire programming skills in middle school, attend creative workshops, or take music and theater classes, others do not even have access to a computer at home. Additionally, they frequently lack effective academic support and adequate study space. This reality is documented by the latest report from the Working Group for the Convention on the Rights of the Child and Adolescent (CRC Group), which, as also highlighted by the platform Skuola.net, raises a new alarm: child poverty is on the rise (+1.8% compared to the previous year) and the educational opportunity gap between the North and South of the country, specifically between the ages of 6 and 17, remains an unresolved emergency.
