Abstract

The term „Gentile Reform” originates from the neo-idealist philosophy of Giovanni Gentile, who served as Minister of Education in Mussolini’s government in 1923. The Kingdom of Italy passed a series of laws that constituted a comprehensive educational reform. The purpose of this article is to present the following legal acts in English translation: Royal Legislative Decree n. 1679 of 31 December 1922 [Regio Decreto Legge 31 dicembre 1922, n. 1679], Royal Decree n. 1753 of 16 July 1923 [Regio Decreto 16 luglio 1923, n. 1753] and Royal Decree n. 3126 of 31 December 1923 [Regio Decreto 31 dicembre 1923, n. 3126].
