The Minister of Education, Niki Kerameos, promises a more intense dialogue with the organizations involved to determine an admission filter in universities, most likely from the institutions themselves, to avoid the admission of candidates with qualifications below the base.
“We are in a broad dialogue with all stakeholders. And among the solutions we are discussing is that each school defines the basis for admission to at least one course that it considers extremely basic: for example, in Mathematics, mathematics should be, in Economics, Economics, in IT Schools, IT. “Among the various solutions we are discussing,” the minister specifically expressed in statements to SKAI.
He added that “now this dialogue will intensify. However, we want the solution to go in the direction of greater autonomy for universities, as is done in so many countries around the world.”
The minister also announced in advance rearrangement of schools and departments, saying that “the map must be formed based on academic criteria, based on the real needs of the country.”
“Part of the solution,” he said, “are the other options available to our youth: vocational education and training pathways, and there is a bill under discussion that improves vocational education and training.” We want solutions with outlets for young people. “Not to pave the way to unemployment.”
Commenting on the admission of pan-Hellenic candidates to universities with very low scores, he said: “This is a chronic pathogenesis of our country that cannot be easily solved. Chronic pathogenesis aggravated by the previous Government with the creation of new departments in the Territory without academic criteria, without a feasibility and sustainability study.
“I remind you that our government has suspended the creation of new departments that were not established.”
He had brought out the planned changes with an exclusive Posted by “K”, since last April.
According to the publication, the Ministry of Education is studying systems in which there will not be a horizontal base for all schools, but the admission filters are different depending on the department.
However, the non-institutionalization of a universal “cutter” of candidates is also being studied, which will separate them at the top and bottom of the base. This is because it is considered that “there are very good technology-oriented departments (that is, old TEI) with a base of less than 10, but their graduates have very good professional prospects”, as a high Ministry official.
