[01] National Dialogue on Education Commences
All are expecting with interest today's first meeting of the political
committee set up for the changes to be introduced in Lyceum and the
entry exams to Tertiary Education. Attending the meeting, which will be
chaired by Education Minister Aris Spiliotopoulos, will be ND
(Conservatives), PASOK (Socialists) and LAOS (Popular Orthodox Rally)
MPs, while SYRIZA (Coalition of the Radical Left) and KKE (Communist
Party of Greece) MPs will abstain. The first official meeting of
Primary and Secondary Education committees under Professor George
Babiniotis' chairmanship will take place at Zappeio, Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Rectors, who met at Karpenisi, failed to present a proposal
on entry exams to Tertiary Education. The issue will be discussed
again.
At the same time, although new correlations resulted from the elections
held by University professors and POSDEP committee, the Left still
retains the majority.
Meanwhile, KKE (Communists) Secretary General Aleka Papariga will meet
with OLME at 12:00 and SYN (Coalition of the Left) President Alexis
Tsipras will present SYRIZA's (Coalition of the Radical Left) proposals
on Education at a Press Conference.
