The Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Mrs Athina Michaelidou, held meetings today with the Directors of all Secondary General Education schools, as part of the two-way communication she seeks to have with all school units.
In her statements to journalists after the meetings, Mrs. Michaelidou said: "I had the opportunity today to talk with directors and principals of secondary general education schools, whom I consider our key partners in the effort to implement the policies of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth.
It was an extremely useful meeting. They are the grassroots people who live the daily life of the school.
We are giving opportunities to the principals to act as leaders of the school unit in order to move towards the autonomy that we are all calling for, the pedagogical autonomy of our school in particular.
I have heard excellent contributions on both current issues related to student assessment, school unit assessment, but also more broadly related to issues we face in the daily life of the school.
I have asked for their positions and contributions to come to me in writing, but we have also opened an ongoing dialogue where I will have regular communication in smaller groups, in workshops with them. Of course, they will also be able to send us their views more broadly, which will be taken into account in the context of the dialogue we have opened with the grassroots," the Education Minister concluded.
