Abstract: The overall improvement, recorded in recent years, at European and national level, of the early school leaving, should not cause neglect of two aspects: the strong weight of internal disparities (9.6% is the European average, 11.5% is the average in Italy) and the lack of skills; in all European countries, low levels of socio-economic status are accompanied by high percentages in terms of poor skills. De facto, the condition of socio-economic, cultural. and educational poverty of the family very frequently represents the main “barrier” for a student, that feeds (and does not contrast) the early school leaving. Furthermore, this paper initiates a first reflection on the role of digitalisation, certainly, decisive in reducing the digital divide, as one of the multiple aspects of the implicit dispersion, but it means a resource or rather a limit in relation to the explicit one.
