Another week of action at universities across the country

The present week is expected to be a “sizzling” one for all Greek educational institutes across country with more rallies yet to come.

More and more university schools are in lockdown and occupied by students who oppose the new governmental measures and who will begin a new round of mobilizations from Monday, along with the Polytechnic School’s professors who are going on a 48-hour strike beginning today.

For the coming Thursday, students have organized new rallies both in Athens and in Thessaloniki, where they will also demonstrate during the TIF.

After their latest meeting, the rectors have decided to ask the assistance of the Council of State as a support to the new law.

Schools open - books are… missing

The new school of the “future” that will prepare students for a better quality university education, having given them a more solid and thorough knowledge of all kinds of subjects, is ready to begin functioning.

The first great challenge students will be called upon to face this year, and from the very start of this academic year's classes, is internet “notes”. This means kids will have to download their curriculum from the internet, as the syllabi are a “phantom” with the Education minister, Anna Diamantopoulou, apologizing for the book shortages.
