KA1 and KA2 (2016-2018)

As teachers we need to familiarize our students with multicultural and diversity. Only when you have a close knowledge of the people from other countries and learn about different cultures, can you understand their philosophy and be open to the multiculturalism that surrounds us.

Autonomy

Εvery school can shape the curriculum the way it wants, although there are guidelines from the state. The budget of each school depends on the outcomes and mainly on the number of students. The headmaster with the school board is managing the school with considerable autonomy (hiring all the stuff members, selecting the students, choosing the books). All schools have supporting structures and personnel. E.g. 1 psychologist, 1 teacher for students with special needs and 2 social workers per school (500-700 students).



Some numbers
