Sacred Monster: Textbooks in the Italian Educational System.

Beattie, Nicholas

British Journal of Educational Studies, v29 n3 p218-35 Oct 1981

The author examines reasons why, historically and currently, a great deal of controversy in Italian education focuses on the provision of textbooks. He discusses such issues as single national textbooks, participation in selection, effects on teaching methods, provision of class libraries, and the requirement that parents pay for textbooks.
