| ITC Pascal
is located in the west side of Romentino village, sourrounded by the countryside
in which a lot of roads run. Romentino has 5000 inhabitants, mostly working
in commercial and manifacturing firms. There are also a lot of petrol
wells, along the Ticino river. Romentino is one of the 82 municipalities
belonging to Novara province. Novara (about 100,000 inhabitants) is close
to Romentino, the border is 300 metres far from the school. Even if Torino
is the adminstration center, Romentino, and Novara, are nearer to Milano
(40 Km in spite of 90). So the economy of the area is influenced both
by Piemonte and Lombardia regions. We are 23 Km far from the Malpensa
airport.The history of Pascal started in 1978, when the Province Administration
decided to build a school in Romentino. The works began in 1980 to be
finished in 1982. In the first 2 years the building hosted fractions of
colleges of Novara: ITC Pascal origineted from two of them in 1984. Two
different business 5-year curricula are taught in Pascal: bookeeping and
commercial foreign languages.
In 1990 the second curriculum was transformed into ERICA (Education for Relationship in International Communication and Business). In 1995 the first one was changed into IGEA (Law and Economics for Firms). In 2000 Pascal became also CTP (Adult Continuos Education Centre). In 2003 Pascal got the EN ISO 9001 Quality Certificate and the statement as vocational centre for the Piemonte Region. In 2005 Pascal got the autorization to open a Scientific Liceum course. At present IIS Pascal has 83 employees: 1 headmaster, 61 teachers, 1 administrative director, 2 tecnical assistants, 6 administrative assistants and 12 housekeepers. As pupils, we have now 714 students in the curricula of IGEA (111) and ERICA (316), Liceo (287); as adults we have 50 students attending a course for diploma, 40 students attending courses for the lower secondary licence, about 100 foreigners attending literacy courses and, in a year, about 50 people attending 30-hour courses on foreign languages, ICT and others. We have different target groups according to the different courses:
