This palace was erected in 1914-1928 by Cesare Bazzani. It covers the surface of 9500 sq.m.. In-front of it was built so called Palazzo degli Esami (Palace of Exams) destined to held public competitions, but at present it often cannot give place for all the candidates competing, so exams are held in other places like Palace of Sport.
The Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, or MIUR) is the ministry of the Italian government for the national education system, the Italian universities and research. It is currently headed by Mariastella Gelmini of Popolo della Libertà. At present the Italian school system is divided into three parts:
State school in Italy is free until the end of primary education. School in Italy is compulsory until the age of 16. The Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca) is responsible for administration of state schools in Italy.
In 1988, the Ministero dell'Università e della Ricerca was split off from the Ministry of Public Education. In the first Romano Prodi cabinet the two were merged back into the Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, Università, Ricerca Scientifica e Tecnologica, then as the Ministero dell'istruzione, dell'università e della ricerca (MIUR) in the second and third Silvio Berlusconi cabinets. The two were re-separated in the second Prodi cabinet of 17 May 2006, but then re-merged in the fourth Berlusconi cabinet of 7 May 2008.
