Guilt of private digital universities with the Meloni government: the universities controlled by the British-Luxembourg CVC fund – namely Mercatorum, Pegaso and San Raffaele University of Rome – have signed an agreement with the Ministry of Public Administration for the training of civil servants.
Here are all the details.
THE SIGNATURE OF MULTIVERSITY (MERCATORUM, PEGASO AND SAN RAFFAELE) WITH THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
That training is the real business of the future is now known to all. Also because it was once enclosed in the first quarter of man's life, from elementary school to graduation, while today any employer, public or private, any professional order, encourages and encourages it, if not even making it compulsory through the notorious "training credits" to be collected every year (one might wonder if most of the courses envisaged, for example by the orders, really train, if the telematic methods with which videos are prepared in many cases that can be skipped by the user and exams that can be repeated infinitely up to exceeding do not represent a pro forma, but we would go off topic). The money flow is therefore considerable. Especially if you manage to enter into agreements with the public. The latest news in the education sector is that Mercatorum, Pegaso and San Raffaele Universities in Rome of the Multiversity group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Public Administration "for the continuous and innovative training of civil servants".
WHAT IS THE PA 110 E LODE AGREEMENT
With the "PA 110 e lode" initiative, the result of a memorandum of understanding signed on 7 October 2021 between the Minister for Public Administration of the time, Renato Brunetta , and the Minister of University and Research, Maria Cristina Messa , reads the website "all public employees who wish to do so are allowed to take advantage of an incentive for access to tertiary education: degree courses, specialization courses and masters".
THE MULTIVERSITY GROUP
In short, these are days of celebration for Pegaso, Mercatorum and San Raffaele Rome, the digital universities of Multiversity, controlled by the British fund CVC Capital Partners. The financial group continued its climb into the academic holding company at the turn of the pandemic, when telematic universities proved to have an advantage over all the others as they were already prepared for remote courses. The remaining 50%, which belonged to the entrepreneur Danilo Iervolino , was acquired in September 1921.
But in reality already the year before Covid, i.e. in November 2019 , CVC, through Paganini Investments sarl, had acquired from Multiversity spa (Multispa) both 50% of the capital of Multiversity srl (Pegaso Telematic University and Mercatorum University) and the 50% of the provider of Certipass international digital skills certification programmes.
THE PRIN 2022 NOTICE
They are days of celebration, it was said, for the Education Group led by Fabio Vaccarono (ex number 1 of Google Italia, in the photo), president and number one of Multiversity, who shortly before the announcement of the memorandum of understanding with the PA has also won 15 Research Projects of Relevant National Interest of the Prin 2022 call for a total value of around 3 million euros. In particular, 6 Prin were awarded to Mercatorum (the University of the Chambers of Commerce), 5 Prin to San Raffaele Rome and 4 Prin to Pegaso, the digital university.
THE SUN ENTHUSIASTIC ARTICLE
In the Confindustria newspaper, the news of the agreement with the PA dicastery comes as follows: "The masters and degree courses of the Multiversity digital universities promote professional development through the updating and expansion of the skills of PA personnel (upskilling), and the acquisition of new knowledge and skills (reskilling)”.
Immediately below, the same article explains that "last October Il Sole 24 Ore SpA, after re-entering the education business with the "Sole 24 ore Formazione" brand, entered into a partnership with the Multiversity group, controlled by CVC Capital Partners and leaders of digital education and training, with the universities Pegaso, Mercatorum, San Raffaele Rome and Aulab, the first Italian coding factory”. In short, the education sector is really tempting for everyone.
