Changes to computer
On the subject of Nationwide 2025, But also in broader changes and implementations of planning in the field of education, the Minister of Education and Religions mentioned Sofia Zacharaki, Speaking to ERTNEWS and the show “Connections”.
As Mrs Zacharakis stated, of the time followed by the standings announcement, “Immediately after the children will wait for the announcement in early July so that they can complete their computer. There has been a significant change since years that when we have given exams, It is now possible for the child after the student gets the grades, the student to complete the computer.
I have noticed in recent years and I have been discussing it today and with exams, that children are now making more targeted choices, they know better where they want to go, they have also had a family discussions about both school and the place, so that it is even easier for family planning, wherever they are, To fill the children the computer until about mid -July and the end of July, last days of July now come out fundamentals And they learn every child and with SMS has the ability to find out about where after much effort and many years it succeeds. “
As for the schools presenting “demand”, the minister said:
“We see too many kids who come in and IT are also in the piece, engineers, they are very demanding, the schools you see. And of course, besides the schools that are traditional and in our years in the field of medicine, always sought after the part of nursing.
That is, we are seeing schools that are currently in demand and new departments that I would say I would say an innovative approach. And one thing I notice during those months in the ministry, three months is that I see requests for departments go to the independent authority, the ministry does not approve their operation, which have to do with an innovative approach. “
As to whether there will be changes to the institution of nationwide exams and for the prime ministerial statement on the National Baccalaureate, he said:
“This has a great deal of discussion, which has begun and will be done and at the level I would say super -party, without saying that everyone will definitely not put the priorities and always have to do with how this can be better structured, we will discuss all parties in the House.
Before that, however, it is a great internal discussion on how the National Baccalaureate.
Do not worry about the children who are preparing this year is a High School Monday.
Normally we go with the institution of examsto know it because I know they have already started and are preparing. But it is something that the state has to discuss as a possibility that, as in other states, be able to concentrate your average from previous years.
Let’s look at a different way so that it doesn’t depend on a few years from now on only the performance you may have three hours today, tomorrow and four lessons and with your own lesson and the final choice. “
Responding to whether the Pan -Hellenic will be abolished in the future and entering university schools with the National Baccalaureate, he said: “It must be exhausted and this best way to apply and at the same time do not make the logic if you want the hasty movements.
We will discuss it, exhaust it, and when we are ready, so that it can be applied, we will say it very in time to parents and children, because you understand that it is a substance conversation and it is at this time the many years of children’s efforts.
We are starting the discussion, and Mr. Pierrakakis and Mrs Kerameos, corresponding to the working groups. So we have material, of course, with the prime minister, because he is the one who wants to have this discussion, in addition, he is personally interested in the matter.
We will inform in time and this amount is progressed by the discussion and where the timeline will be if this can be applied.
We definitely want to discuss the entry part to the university. At some point, which will not be exclusively privilege, it will not only be a privilege of exams.
I also understand the reflection of parents and children that I have been trying for so many years, I take exams for three hours is the additional stress and this anxiety. It is good to see it somewhere that has been implemented correctly, but also something that can be applied to Greece, because this is very crucial. “
He went on to say: “They have already been chosen by the previous political leadership, by Mr. Pierrakakis, which are models or schools of other types of artist, which will be trained and have already been trained.
I have to tell you that from the first days I was in the ministry, people on Saturday, Sunday, was at an Academy of Training on the institution of IB. It is a difficult institution, because especially for teachers and children who are used to a way of learning, IB has a completely different approach.
He has synthetic knowledge, has a combination of thinking, he has multiple sources. We have already invited teachers and are applying these days and continue to work first and then to work first of all the way IB is taught, so that children in 2026 have the ability to choose the first high school to be able to take the lesson.
It is very demanding, it is new and so we take very careful steps and systematically, so that first of all teachers are prepared. We have the material anyway and is from the material that is taught in other courses, which the schools that they take IB are private, so that we can now be very responsible for telling you where to work who will teach and what will be taught.
It makes no sense to have IB unless it can have anything. You see that in private universities that will work, you know you can definitely enter, give nationwide or you will have your IB respectively. We will see exactly the way, how could it and if it could really get into the public part. Otherwise it would not make sense for IB to work unless it gave children choices.
And I think what is crucial, it is for children to be able to give choices. And I am glad that this government once elected and is not a party debate, but everyone testifies if you want a legacy, has increased the standards, has increased the experimental, it gives more choices now and with the Council of State, with the ability to operate and operate.
So a child now has more options and we are happy, while also reinforcing the public university. Why know that the strengthening of both public university is continuous and with new funding, extraordinary funding and staff so crucial. “
For non -state universities, Mrs Zacharakis said: “We are right now and after the filing of the applications, the twelve plus one as we say, the twelve, which they did for this year, we are at the time of the evaluation, by the independent authority, the operation, The final suggestion and approval will have been given, what will be these universities that will be able to operate and immediately after the evaluation of the programs begins.
What can work from any university that will receive a positive evaluation from the Independent Authority?
Will it be a section of psychology? Will it be legal? It will be something else, so that parents know what to operate from the winter of 25 and can make children’s registration with the conditions that each university will be approved. “
On public universities he said: “We are currently operating normally with four years and programs filed for private, because they have four years. It was discussed anyway, and some who had three years made the conversion to four years anyway.
Anything that may have to do for three years is certainly not something that is for now. It has a great deal of adjustment process and you know it’s a lot of debate.
So everything that is certainly not about this academic year, but it is chatting anyway.
And I repeat that the discussions are taking place with the prime minister himself, he wants information on the three -year part, but we are certainly not there. We still have a way. I repeat that education is not a privileged space for shock situations.
It is a place that can actually be successfully implemented many reforms.
But when it is fully resolved how adjustments can be made, whether it is programs or duration of studies. “
The Minister of Education stressed: “We also saw the Bureau of the Synod just yesterday because we are preparing the next meeting.
It is very close to each other this time, as well as with every university, with each rector we had a new rector at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, in Thessaloniki, we have with each Rector separately and the part of the security plans.
They have been deposited too much, until the end they will have completed everything and some will have already updated. Because too many had already deposited both the 21st and 22nd and had received approval for their original plan.
Anyway these are by the end of the year, if you remember timing because they are competitions that need to be done, they are not all that are immediately applicable. But each one will have a specific unique design that works.
One can work the cameras, definitely increased storage, and we will help more people in security because too many have very large spaces, campus is exposed to a very large extent. “
Finally, Ms Zacharakis said that “the Marietta Giannakou program is implemented in over 430 schools, in the summer they will be painted. You will see outdoors, sports venues, accessible toilets and ramps for children with disabilities, which have the problem of mobility. 100 million from the donation of the Hellenic Banks Union.
We do not end there in September we hope that all the number of schools may have been delivered and only the final work that does not interfere with the educational process. But let us know that we continue because at least 50 million of our own money from the state will be added each year and ask individuals targeted and with campaign to continue to give to this program. “
