Reshaping Education 
Regarding education, Vigourism considers the Italian education system to have little to no redeemable qualities, as it's incredibly obsolete and inefficient. It believes it must be forcefully communized; that means that, inside the school building, there should be a quasi-communist state of being.
First of all, schools should be made fully public, and private alternatives should be banned, with their buildings either being used as public schools or for something else. The total education spending should be around 6% of Italy's GDP, similar to Finland's. Students shouldn't buy any books; they should be lent by the school, with fines in case of noticeable damage to these books. They should have a much smaller role in learning anyway, so lending them wouldn't be a problem.
Education should be both practical and theoretical. High schools in Italy are currently divided into three big types; the first one, called 'Liceo', is more theory-focused and it mainly prepares you for university; the second one, called 'Professionale', is more practice-focused and it prepares you for a job; then the third one, called 'Tecnico', is a mix of these, but it's regarded as more practice-focused. This division should be eliminated, as education should be similar between different people; moreover, you have to choose what type of school to go to at about 13 years of age, which is far too early and wastes potential. They should be radically reformed; there should be some mandatory subjects such as history, literature, Italian, general education skills, sex education, and a second language which can be French, English, or German. The other subjects would be optional (there should be a minimum amount of hours a student should do), and it would also be possible to choose to do more hours of the mandatory subjects.
Homework shouldn't be a thing. In my opinion, if you need to spend more than 10 minutes at home on something that you did in the morning the teacher didn't explain it well. Exercises should be made at school and they should be practical when possible so that students learn to apply theory and abstract notions to real-life situations. Students could do exercises by themselves at home following some of the teacher's suggestions, but they shouldn't be mandatory.
Lastly, education shouldn't be a simple learning process; it should serve as a preparation for the future. Nowadays education is made with a focus on the past, without taking into consideration that the future won't be the same as the present. A passionate youth makes a strong nation. For this reason, the youth should be instilled with values such as pride and patriotism, and old beliefs such as Christianity should be heavily discouraged. In general, education should shape the youth, not just teach notions.
