Today, all Italian high schools will be submitted to the PISA evaluation tests provided by INVALSI, the National Institute for the Evaluation of Education. For the second year, a set of multiple choice tests is imposed on all sophomore pupils, who have already been confused by the sudden changes approved by the last government. Unione degli Studenti of Italy (UdS) believes that evaluation is a such a difficult process that it can not be replaced by a quiz which puts apart the role of the teacher as educator and promotes only competitiveness instead of student cooperation.
