According to Alessandra Briganti,“the transformation of Italy 's university system was prompted by a mounting demand for higher education overlaid on universities’ original academic mission, so heavily as to nullify the three social functions that justify their existence: scientific research, the development of critical thinking, and specialized training for the professions” (Briganti. para 2). Furthermore, the various transformations of Italy’ university system have happened via education reforms, and have affected higher education greatly. For instance, the development of critical thinking is an aspect of formation that is crucial to an individual’s independence. If this facet is not properly matured in an individual, his or her ability to solve problems could be basic. In addition, without well conducted scientific research, the probabilities of Italian students and potential scientists to discover new cures and disease prevention methods would decrease.

Another solution to the lack of funding towards higher education, is to raise funds for universities. For example, creating world wide fund-raising websites to support Italian universities. If the websites are viewed world wide, rich countries in European and North American continents could help support Italian research and universities by donating money. Also, media and Internet can be utilized by creating websites that inform people of the different needs of Italian universities, and schools as well. In addition,
