Kyriakos Pierrakakis raised two issues in his interview on SKAI radio on Monday, which are worth discussing because they are about… below the base.
The first concerns the ban on mobile phones in schools, for which the Minister of Education stated that so far there have been 6,043 expulsions! When you punish thousands of students in order to pass a measure, something is wrong with your education system.
It is clear that the Greek education system is suffering. Students are trained to memorize more than to understand and teachers are trained to cover the curriculum. The sacred teacher relationship has been reduced to a mechanistic process emphasized by mass punishments.
At the same time, the biggest proof of failure is the prevalence of tutoring schools that commercialize Public Education. It is characteristic that in Finland, which is considered the country with the best education system in the world, the exact opposite applies to Greece. Minimal punishments, no parroting, no private tutoring.
Much more would not the Minister of Education dare to state that there were 6,000 expulsions for the same offense and remain in his position. There is no pedagogic system in which the mass enrollment of students is considered correct.
“Eternal Students”
The second thing that K. Pierrakakis said is that the Kerameos law will be applied for the cancellations of students who have exceeded the time limits set by the law. That is, mass deletions of the so-called “eternal students”
“The law will be applied absolutely and inexorably. We have voted for him and it will be implemented… We cannot have an Arta Jew. Let’s stop talking about it. We will abide by the law. We are talking about the summer of 2025 and after, at the end of the current academic year there will be an activation of the specific provisions. I am clear…”, he emphasized.
According to Law 4957/2022, HEIs will have to delete from their registers almost half of the registered students. According to recent data, these are 333,741 “eternal students”.
What is not defined by the law but by life, is that many of the so-called “eternals” are citizens who abandoned their studies for financial, family, health reasons…
Many of them would at some point like to return to the auditoriums. And despite the cries against them, they do not cost the state anything. A record in a database is. They neither have a student pass nor do they occupy places in student residences. They have no impact either on the operation of HEIs or on the budget.
But the Mitsotakis government and the Minister of Education want to “sell” the so-called doctrine of “law and order” to the voters. Pupils and students are easy victims…
