Greece's landmark special education reform nears parliamentary approval
Greece's Ministry of Education is set to unveil a long-awaited reform for special education. The proposed changes aim to create a more inclusive system for children with disabilities and their families. Education Minister Niki Michalidou confirmed the bill will soon be submitted to Parliament.
The reform follows 27 years of development within the ministry. Officials have stressed the need to modernise an outdated educational framework. A key goal is to expand opportunities for children with disabilities, ensuring better support in schools.
The ministry has repeatedly highlighted its commitment to improving special education. Michalidou's announcement signals the final stages of a process that began decades ago. Once approved, the new legislation will introduce measures designed to enhance accessibility and learning conditions.
The bill's submission to Parliament marks a critical step in overhauling Greece's special education system. If passed, the reform will directly impact thousands of children and their families. The ministry expects the changes to take effect in the coming academic year.
