Giuseppe Valditara, Minister of Education and Merit · claimed on Nov 14, 2026 · original source
On 14 November 2026, after the withdrawal from the budget of the cuts to teachers and ATA staff, the Minister of Education and Merit Giuseppe Valditara said that in 2027 spending on education will amount to 6.9% of total state spending, against 6.6% under the Conte II government and 6.2% under the Draghi government, attributing the data to the Chamber of Deputies' Research Service. On the same occasion he spoke of a total allocation of about 64.5 billion. It is not clear which aggregate he uses (only the Ministry of Education budget or also other items, commitment or cash basis, which year for each government). The question can be settled by comparing the figures with the State budget tables and with the Chamber document from which the minister says he took them.
