What did he say about Onassia and Experimental Schools
“It turns out that the Greek family is thirsty for good improved public education. We as a government believe in choices. They can also be example for other schools, “the Minister of Education said, Sofia Zacharakiregarding the Onassis and the Experimental schools.
Sofia Zacharakis said that thousands of children will take part in exams for these schools next weekend.
“There is a huge interest. Over 12,000 applications for 3,134 seats have been made for the experimental. For the standards we have over 9,000 applications for 1,775 seats while for “Onassia” there are 3,274 for 1,166 seats ยป.
Speaking to MEGA, about schools that have been characterized by standards, so many students in the Gymnasium could not be able to enter the Lyceum but also need to go through a draw, she said:
“We all changed schools, from high school to high school but I don’t want to underestimate the fact that in some small areas, you have fewer options. Because I know well the case of Kalamaria has been exhausted the margin of raising high school sections and helping many parents so that the distance is not large. At the moment I am working to improve the transition, though. In the “Onassis” schools, 60% of the exams on Sunday will be from the municipalities. We definitely need to look at the transition period. Also, to say that the establishment of a model or experimental school is not announced at the last minute, but there is a decision on the CoE. “
The Minister of Education also said that appointments were expected in kindergartens. In addition, he talked about digital tutorials by saying that they will operate normally until the last day of the exams. “On May 30, Panhellenic and 31 for EPAL starts and this means that the digital tutorial will operate as well as the last lesson to be given. More than 49,000 students have registered. “
He also stated that so far they have been done 12 applications from foreign universities who want to come to Greece.
Sofia Zacharakis answering a question about her connection ‘Truth Group’ With the New Democracy he said that the party had no organic relationship with the “Truth Group”.
“Government makes or improves its image from the 1 billion measures we received a few days ago. The Truth Group had no organic relationship with the ND, I am certified by I was there as a deputy representative. There is obviously a political and ideological connection but if one enters the X at the moment there are groups that degrade political opponents where they are in the ND. Do I need to link them to a political space and say that they act as a tool of government or opposition? Obviously there is a matter of political support but by individuals. This is widely in social media every day. A government cannot be judged by it, but it is evaluated daily. “
