Liceo Sperimentale "G. Marconi"

Liceo Sperimentale "G. Marconi" or the Liceo italiano di Asmara is an Italian international senior high school in Asmara, Eritrea. It is operated by the Italian government.[1]

The high school started operations in the 1935–1936 school year. It started as the Martini four-year state scientific senior high school. It was temporarily converted to a classical high school in the 1937-1937 school year but it reverted to its scientific high school status in the 1955–1956 school year. It became a five-year school in the 1986–1987 school year through a resolution of the academic board and the approval of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE).[2]

Student body

As of 2015, 85% of its 330 students were Eritreans, with other nationalities making up the remainder. Previously its students were almost entirely expatriate Italians.[2]

The feeder schools are a preschool, Scuola materna italiana di Asmara (IT), and a combined elementary and junior high school, Istituto Italiano Statale Comprensivo (IT).
