Planning for the 2027–2028 school year in the Sannio has confirmed 44 school autonomies, with no further cuts reported in the current planning process. The update emerged from the territorial consultation process convened by the Province of Benevento, alongside a proposal from Vitulano for a new professional institute.

44 autonomies confirmed

According to NTR24, 44 institutions in the Sannio were confirmed during planning for the 2027–2028 educational offer. The report describes no additional reductions to school autonomies at this stage of the procedure.

The confirmation concerns the forward planning cycle for 2027–2028. It does not by itself determine staffing, class formation, or individual school sites, which remain subject to later institutional decisions.

Vitulano proposal: enogastronomy and agriculture tracks

Vitulano Mayor Raffaele Scarinzi presented a proposal for a professional institute offering enogastronomic and agricultural study tracks.

The proposal is linked to a possible Istituto Omnicomprensivo intended to connect education more closely to local characteristics and expand opportunities for students. It concerns the 2027–2028 planning cycle and remains part of an ongoing institutional procedure, not a final approval.

The proposal was discussed in connection with the territorial consultation table convened by the Province of Benevento on 21 September 2026. That meeting brought together institutional, school, and trade-union representatives to plan the provincial educational offer for 2027–2028.

What is confirmed and what is only proposed

Confirmed:

  • 44 school autonomies in the Sannio were confirmed for the 2027–2028 planning process.
  • The Province of Benevento convened the territorial consultation table on 21 September 2026.
  • Vitulano submitted a proposal for further consideration.

Proposed but not decided:

  • A professional institute in Vitulano with enogastronomic and agricultural tracks.
  • Its possible organization within an Istituto Omnicomprensivo.

Readers should treat the Vitulano institute as a proposal under review. It has not yet been definitively approved.

Next steps and deadlines

The procedure has defined near-term milestones. Proposals were due by 28 September, followed by a technical table and a provincial resolution expected by 5 October for transmission to the regional offices.

In practical terms, that means:

  • 28 September: deadline for proposals.
  • After 28 September: technical-table review.
  • By 5 October: expected provincial resolution and transmission to the regional offices.

Final provincial and regional decisions may change the proposal or its timetable.

Local context in Vitulano

For the current 2026–2027 school year, the Municipality of Vitulano reports an active local lower-secondary school population and provides textbook assistance to eligible pupils. That indicates an existing local school-service infrastructure, particularly for lower-secondary students.

The available research does not specify a campus, enrollment capacity, staffing arrangements, or responsible school authority for the proposed professional institute. It is also not yet clear whether both the enogastronomic and agricultural tracks would be activated, or under which existing institution they would operate.

Families and students interested in the proposal should therefore follow subsequent acts from the Province of Benevento, the Municipality of Vitulano, and the competent regional school offices, where any approval, institutional assignment, and enrollment terms would be formally established.
