Teachers will be evaluated for two years before signing exclusive contracts. Originally this was introduced in universities, but today it was also presented at a meeting of the Council of Ministers as part of the new bill, which is supposed to apply it in schools as well.
All teachers will be placed on “intern” position throughout their first years of teaching and they will be evaluated before being assigned to a permanent position. All schools have already been sent a provision for self-evaluation of teachers.
In parallel provisions of the bill include procedures for granting licenses to private colleges. This act will be included along with integration into Greek legislation of the European Directive for professional rights in European countries. So by June about 25 000 graduates from colleges, which are branches of European universities, can apply for a job with stronger qualifications.
The new bill establishes and changes the curriculum of secondary schools in the country - reducing the material, elective classes and all-day schools. Teachers will be moved to other cities only if there are spaces and a real need. A new system for hiring teachers will be regulated.
In parallel, the law includes changes for higher education establishments about which the faculty insisted, but there is no provision for the conduct of elections in connection for the opportunity for them to be reelected for a second time.
At today's Ministerial Council the theme for the new law on education was at the center of discussions. According to statistics of the Ministry of Education there are 45 000 teachers who currently work as substitutes and have no chances of being taken permanently, particularly in specialties which are overflowing such as philologists. Newly appointed teachers will have to remain in service in the school where they were originally hired for at least three years.
