Italian Rectors in 2040…
… are today among our students!
Or better, among today‘s top students
Is there a gender difference among top students?
How do we characterize top students?

TECO: assessing soft skills of „graduands“
TECO is the first study of soft skills of Italian university
“graduands", done in Spring 2013
3rd year students, close to completing their Bsc,
passed all compulsory courses
12 universities, 5800+ students, all disciplines

TECO test: Analysis and Problem Solving Writing Effectiveness Writing Mechanics Critical Reading Critiquing an Argument Scientific and Quantitative Reasoning
NOT TESTED: disciplinary competences

TECO involved The national agency for Assessing Quality of
the University system, ANVUR The national computing center, CINECA Local task-forces at each of the 12 tested
universities In cooperation with CAE

Results by Gender Female students slightly better in Writing

Italian women today in top positions are still a minority
− Female Rectors: about 6,8% − Female Board Members: about 15% − Female Members of Parliament: about 30%
Top performing university students, from the point of view of soft skills, still are more men than women
In some disciplines top students are however mostly female students
Conclusion
how to foster them is up to ourselves !!
