Private University

Protests began at noon against the Greek government's draft law allowing recognition of non-state, non-profit universities operating in Greece

Education Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis said the right to establish non-state tertiary institutions in Greece as affiliates of foreign universities emanates from a 2020 decision by the EU Court of Justice regarding a law in Hungary

The government hopes to pass the bill at the start of 2024

Addressing the Parliament, Mitsotakis remarked, "The results of the PISA assessment indeed should concern us. Across the EU, there has been a decrease in performance. These results oblige us to expedite the scheduled reforms in education, with evaluation being a priority.
