Forthcoming policy developments

Educational policy in Greece is currently undergoing a phase of active reforms, with particular emphasis on higher education and its internationalization. Within this framework, one of the most significant recent developments is the adoption and implementation of Law 5094/2024 (Government Gazette 39/Α/13-03-2024), which introduces a new institutional framework for the operation of branches of foreign universities in Greece and strengthens the international dimension of higher education, while establishing quality assurance and supervision requirements.

At the same time, the implementation and updating of the new Curricula in school education continue, with an emphasis on digital content, the development of 21st-century skills, and a student-centered approach, within the framework of the overall upgrading of the educational process.

The above interventions are part of the broader strategic planning of the Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports aimed at improving the quality, functionality, and international competitiveness of the education system.

Ongoing debates

The Standing Committee on Educational Affairs of the Hellenic Parliament operates within the framework of the parliamentary work of the Greek Parliament, which is responsible for matters relating to education, higher education, lifelong learning, and culture. The Committee constitutes a key institutional forum for dialogue, the formulation of proposals, and parliamentary oversight on issues of educational policy.
