SCHOLASTIC LEGAL ENTITIES
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to bring into light a newly appeared type of legal person unknown until now, or at least until the Education Law in 2011. Since nothing concrete has been made to implement this new type of legal entity in the general picture, except for some small decisions of the Ministry for Education, nowadays the practice and the fiscal administration forces this intro the reality of things. A scholastic entity has on purpose only and that is to allow education services to be provided in an organizes manner. This entity is similar to a company, association or foundation but differs from all these by the fact that it does not have a patrimony of its own and it is funded by a financing entity which registers it and supports it in order that throw it to make the activity of education. Long has the idea of education been debated if education is a profit or non-profit orientated activity or a mixed one. By compiling different rules from different laws, we may wet get a picture of what a scholastic legal entity should be and how it works, because it must be implemented to provide this service any more.
