October 14, 2025

Education Minister Athina Michaelidou emphasized that the evaluation of teachers is not punitive but a means of support and empowerment. She presented a bill to amend the current evaluation system, highlighting the importance of principals' involvement. However, educational organizations expressed concerns about bureaucracy and the unclear structure of the new legislation. The discussion pointed out the need for incentives and requirements to improve education. Critics suggest that more problems might arise instead of solutions from the proposed changes.
