The essay is the introduction of the monographic issue entitled "The Teaching Profession: Trends and Issues in the Italian School System". The monographic issue, in Memory of Professor Luisa Ribolzi, addresses one of the central themes in sociological reflection on schools, the role of the teaching profession and its centrality within educational systems. We question today how the Italian school and its governance system have responded to the challenge introduced by the law on school autonomy and how the issues related to teaching quality, teacher training, and the evaluation of the system, students, and teachers have developed in the Italian and international scientific debate. The contents of the different articles contained in the monographic issue are discussed, focusing on both the theoretical issues and the methodological ones.

Abstract
The essay is the introduction of the monographic issue entitled "The Teaching Profession: Trends and Issues in the Italian School System". The monographic issue, in Memory of Professor Luisa Ribolzi, addresses one of the central themes in sociological reflection on schools, the role of the teaching profession and its centrality within educational systems. We question today how the Italian school and its governance system have responded to the challenge introduced by the law on school autonomy and how the issues related to teaching quality, teacher training, and the evaluation of the system, students, and teachers have developed in the Italian and international scientific debate. The contents of the different articles contained in the monographic issue are discussed, focusing on both the theoretical issues and the methodological ones.
