0/100 · Geen of nauwelijks aantoonbaar resultaat
Deze score beoordeelt uitsluitend aantoonbare doelrealisatie, de onderbouwde bijdrage van WeMove Europe en bestendigheid. De score zegt niets over hoeveel inspanning is geleverd, hoe goed de campagne is gevoerd of hoe waardevol het werk op zichzelf is.
As of 24 October 2026, the campaign is running but has not achieved any of its frozen goals. The main development is adverse to goal 553: Italy adopted Decree-Law No. 170/2026, which places a statutory 30% ceiling on specified groups of pupils with non-Italian citizenship. The decree took effect on 1 October 2026 and is before the Senate for conversion. The European Commission has publicly said it is assessing the final text, but has not made the requested statement that nationality-based sorting has no place in the EU. No evidence was found of a collective action by EU education ministers matching goal 555. WeMove's petition began after the Italian government had already approved the decree, so there is no credible basis to attribute the decree or any later institutional response to the campaign.

Feiten en onzekerheden
Bevestigd
- The Italian government approved the relevant decree-law on 24 September 2026, before the 1 October 2026 campaign launch date supplied in the inventory.
- Decree-Law No. 170/2026 was published on 30 September 2026 and took effect on 1 October 2026.
- Article 13 does not repeal the 30% threshold; it establishes statutory criteria using non-Italian citizenship together with birth and/or Italian-schooling conditions.
- The measure is not yet durably settled: it is in force as a decree-law and requires parliamentary conversion.
- The European Commission publicly stated on 1 October that it was assessing the final text; it has not made the statement demanded in goal 554.
- No demonstrated external outcome advances any of the three frozen goals.
- No evidence demonstrates that WeMove caused an institutional outcome. The central Italian government action preceded the campaign.
Onzeker
- The official WeMove petition page was technically accessible but its substantive petition text and live signature counter did not render in the captured page. The 111,000-signature figure is therefore treated only as WeMove's own reported figure from its homepage.
- It is not yet known whether Parliament will convert, amend, or allow Decree-Law No. 170/2026 to lapse by the conversion deadline of 29 November 2026.
- The Commission's eventual legal or political assessment of the measure is unknown. Its 1 October statement was an assessment-in-progress, not a finding of compatibility or incompatibility with EU law.
- No reliable evidence was found that EU education ministers have jointly adopted the investments, staffing, smaller-class measures, or equal-access approach specified in goal 555.
Tegenstrijdig / afwijkend
- The campaign summary describes a blanket 30% cap on non-Italian children. Article 13 of Decree-Law No. 170/2026 is narrower but still citizenship-based: in primary school it applies to non-Italian citizens who were not born in Italy or did not attend two years of kindergarten; in secondary school it applies to non-Italian citizens without three successful years in the Italian school system.
- The decree's stated rationale frames the measure as balancing class composition and supporting integration, while the campaign treats citizenship-based class-composition criteria as discriminatory. The legal and policy compatibility has not been conclusively determined by an EU institution.
Tijdlijn
-
Parliamentary conversion process underway
The conversion bill, S. 2053, is before the Senate. The decree remains provisional until Parliament converts it into law; the reported conversion deadline is 29 November 2026.
-
Commission says it is assessing the Italian decree
Asked about the Italian measure, a European Commission spokesperson said the Commission needed to assess the final published text and noted that parliamentary confirmation was still required. The Commission did not state that nationality-based education rules have no place in the EU.
-
WeMove petition campaign launched
WeMove launched and promoted a petition calling for the Italian ceiling to be removed and for equal classroom access. WeMove's own homepage displayed the campaign with a claimed 111,000 signatures. This is evidence of campaign activity and a self-reported mobilisation figure, not independent evidence of policy impact.

Decree-Law No. 170/2026 enters into force
Decree-Law No. 170/2026 was published and entered into force. Article 13 sets the 30% ceiling for defined groups of pupils with non-Italian citizenship; formation of new entry classes is scheduled from school year 2027/28, while the rule for certain mid-year and later-year enrolments applies from 2026/27.

Italian government adopts statutory 30% ceiling
Italy's Council of Ministers approved a decree-law containing the 30% class-composition ceiling before the petition campaign started.

Official Senate legislative record identifies bill S. 2053 as the bill to convert Decree-Law No. 170/2026. This supports the conclusion that the decree is still in the parliamentary conversion process rather than a settled final law.
