Arvanitopoulos Says Education Change Coming

Greek Education Minister Constantinos Arvanitopoulos, in an interview with New Europe, said he would press ahead with reforms to change the way students are educated and try to provide them with more tools, despite the country’s crushing economic crisis.
Given the tough economic situation that Greece is facing right now, he said that, “Education was affected by austerity measures, we had to cut salaries of professors, we won’t have the luxury of employing part time teachers in the next year,but the most important thing happening in Greek education right now is the introduction of structural reforms. This is happening at all levels of the education system at the same time.”
According to New Europe, he intends to consolidate the departments and institutions, to bring the‘shape of education toward what he said Greece needs, including allowing evaluations in education.
Arvanitopoulos stressed that “Change means a paradigm shift, it’s difficult to change ways of thinking, but there is the realization and acceptance things must change, but when it comes to offering proposals, some people back off. It’s difficult sometimes to accept change.”
