The 11 changes that will improve the teaching process and school life in the coming school year, which begins on September 11, were presented during a meeting on Thursday chaired by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis with the leadership of the Ministry of Education, Religion and Sports. Human resources and 10,000 new hirings, technology investment as well as training and behavioural issues were at the heart of the meeting.
During the meeting the prime minister said:
“Today we have a meeting with the political leadership of the Ministry of Education, Religion and Sports to discuss the important changes in our schools ahead of the next school year. If I had to make an attempt to categorize the 11 very important changes, about which the minister and deputy minister will have the opportunity to speak in more detail in the coming days, I would divide them into three distinct categories.
The first concerns human resources: 10,000 new recruitments of permanent teachers for the next academic year, which are added to the 27,500 recruitments that have already been made since 2019.
The second area in which the ministry invests heavily is overall the technology sector. 28,500 interactive whiteboards have already been installed in the schools of our country and we expect the installation of the rest until we reach the number of 36,000 by the end of the year.
The third category that I want to dwell on concerns the issues of educational process and behaviours in general. The stop-bullying platform has already borne fruit and I believe that it is a very important tool at the disposal of students and teachers in order to be able to highlight such incidents and to be able to manage them discreetly but also effectively, preferably within the school unit.
