Back to School for Generation Z: What It Will Be Like to Return to School

Classes are starting again in Italian schools. What does the return include? All school staff and university students, who are an important part of the Generation Z, are required to have the green certificate. As for students aged 6 and up, they will have to wear a mask in the classroom, with the possibility of not doing so in the case of classes with all immunized children.

Generation Z in Italy: characteristics

In the world there are about 2 billion, in Italy about 9 million. They are the kids of the Generation Z, ranging from 14 to 24 years old. They are digital natives, albeit with their feet on the ground. They are also called Zoomers: these are teenagers or twenty-year-olds who for the last two years have become the protagonists of meetings on virtual platforms such as Zoom. Generation Z in Italy, like the rest of the planet, is the mobile-first generation in history. Those under 25 are connected to the outside world with smartphones and mobile devices, which they have had in their hands since they were very young. And this characteristic, encouraged by the pandemic and its consequences, also has a strong impact on teaching and learning methods.

Generation Z and Psychology: Values and Expectations

The so-called Centennials, or those belonging to the Generation Z, believe in family, aim to earn, but also to save, have a permanent and stable job as their goal. This is the portrait that emerged from research such as that of BNP Paribas Cardif conducted by the AstraRicerche Institute. As regards a cross-section of the Generation Z and of the psychology of those who are part of it, these kids live in a world in constant transformation and increasingly have to face global challenges and crises, with many questions and uncertainties. They have therefore rediscovered authentic values and timeless, like family and friendship, starting from school desks. They give importance to experiences, sustainability, inclusion.
