Education minister addresses LSE Hellenic Observatory

Education Minister Anna Diamantopoulou addressed the Hellenic Observatory of the London School of Economics (LSE) on Wednesday evening, speaking on the subject of “education’s role in Greece’s course towards recovery”.

Diamantopoulou stressed that constructive proposals on the model of administration and management to be adopted by universities in Greece are being studied, including the controversial “university asylum”.

She also ruled out the introduction of tuition fees at Greek universities, responding to a question on whether such a prospect is within the government’s intentions, and reminded that free public education is constitutionally guaranteed.
