The minority of Thrace, addressed a request letter to the Greek Minister of Education Konstantinos Arvanitopoulos, for the creation of bilingual minority kindergartens.
The announcement published in the Turkish media was, “The Friendship Equality and Peace Party (FEP) sent a letter to the Education Minister, Mr Arvanitopoulos, asking the creation of Minority Kindergartens that are to provide education both in Turkish and Greek.”
In its letter, the FEP Party highlighted that minority education is a guaranteed right of the minority and must be applied at all stages of compulsory education.
It has been noted that the demand for bilingual minority kindergartens is a democratic requirement of the minority, and that kindergarten is actually the preparation period for primary education, so in order to better prepare children for elementary school, bilingual kindergartens are a necessity.
The FEP Party’s letter on kindergartens, has also been sent to East Macedonia and Thrace Governor Aris Giannakidis and to MP’s of Xanthi, Rodopi and Evros prefectures.
