Greek Teachers Protest Education Ministry's Appointment Reform Proposal
Greek teachers are planning a mobilization on Thursday, protesting against the Ministry of Education's new proposal on teacher appointment reforms. The teachers' unions, including POED, OELMEK, and OLTEK, argue that the proposal does not address their concerns about job security and career prospects. The education minister, Athena Michaelidou, defends the proposal as fair and balanced, stating that it takes into account both experienced teachers and those who have passed the exam. The minister expresses surprise at the teachers' decision to protest before the consultation process is completed.
