The capital statement
The news was announced early Saturday morning by the Deputy Minister of Social Cohesion and Family and Member of Parliament for Ioannina of the ND, Maria Kefala.
“The relocation of the Experimental Primary Schools of Ioannina from the building infrastructure of the complex of the Zosimaia Pedagogical Academy in the University Campus is a years-long request of the actors of education in the area of Ioannina and the local community as a whole. The concession of the plot of land on which the schools will be relocated from the University of Ioannina, the inclusion of the project in the “Ant. Tritsis” opened the way and the decision of the Minister Mr. Livanios is the decisive step so that in a reasonable period of time the Municipality of Ioannito can complete the required procedures of announcing the project and then contracting it for the start of its construction.
The school building infrastructure of Ioannina as a whole is insufficient and the school units even today are hosted and operate for the most part in school complexes that belong to Endowments bequeathed by Epirotian Benefactors, which are managed by the Holy Metropolis of Ioannina and the Charity Shops.
The Government of Kyriakos Mitsotakis dares and implements projects, such as this one, which give new perspectives to the educational process but at the same time serve to relieve congestion from large school complexes in the urban fabric that fall short of the optimal education standards.
I express my satisfaction with the decision of Mr. Livaniou, whom I sincerely thank for the cooperation we have had in this matter throughout the previous period”, says the Deputy Minister of Social Cohesion and Family in her statement.
