Monthly inflation of education in Italy 2020-2024
In Italy, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted on education costs. From September 2020 to September 2021, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) drastically dropped -3.5 percent compared to the academic year 2019/2020. In fact, expenses for tertiary education mainly affected the decline of inflation, as universities had to suspend any activity on campus following the second infection wave between 2020 and 2021. As the emergency measures were lifted, prices progressively grew, settling to pre-pandemic levels.
