Student protests across the country tomorrow – Teachers are on the side of their students
The week begins with demonstrations in the educational area, as on Monday 6/11 students, teachers and parents will be present “at the streets”, to protest the government’s anti-education policy.
The Coordinating Committee of Students of Athens is calling at 12:00 in the Propylaia to protest the lack of security in schools, the meager funding in Education, the repeal of the Kerameos law for private universities, but also the punctuality that plagues the country.
“Everything good happens, everything we achieve, we do only when we fight, when we show solidarity, when we are all for one and one for all.” emphasizes the Coordinating Committee of the Students of Athens and adds that “this happened in Thessaly, in the fires, this happens in every school and every school year that with our struggles we succeed from the smallest to the biggest”.
It is noted that the mobilization of the Coordination Committee of Students of Athens, is also supported by the Federation of Parents of Attica.

5+1 REASONS TO HIT THE ROAD:
1. WE WANT SAFE AND MODERN SCHOOLS! OUR SCHOOLS ARE SENDING AN SOS AND WE WILL NOT LET THEM BECOME AN EMERGENCY: Old and dangerous buildings with falling ceilings and windows, plaster and flooded forecourts and containers with the first rain. Our lives in schools cost dearly to the government and Ministries. Promises for upgrading, modernization, pitches and interactive tables that we keep hearing and not seeing. Enough is enough – Checks and security in all schools here and now!
2. WE WANT MONEY FOR EDUCATION! FOR BUILDINGS- TEACHERS- INFRASTRUCTURES- BOOKS! Another year the school budget is submitted and another year the money you give is the same. Elsewhere, to big businessmen, shipowners and industrialists you know how to give them, to us whatever is left over! We demand an increase here and now! To make schools and their infrastructure modern! In order to permanently cover all the vacancies in teachers, especially in specialties at EPAL and Music-Art Schools. So that we are not 25+ students per class. To finance the school trips and so that none of us misses a trip for financial reasons! For all schools to have heating.
3. WHY WE WILL NOT ACCEPT INJUSTICE BECOMING A LAW AT SCHOOL. NOT EVEN THINKING ABOUT PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES FOR THOSE FEW WHO HAVE TO PAY AND FOR THE MANY EXAMS FROM PRIMARY SCHOOL! We, the many students, struggle with endless exams, tutorials, EBE, Subject Bank, material- mountain, stress, pressure (and new exams that you say you will bring to the Gymnasium and nationwide in all classes of the Lyceum with the national baccalaureate) and make our dreams come true and those who have money just buy a college degree? Does that seem fair to you? Is not! Don’t even think about it – We will stop you!
4. BECAUSE PRECISION IS SWEEPING OUR HOMES, WAR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND WE ARE FILLED EVERYWHERE WITH DISASTER FROM FIRE, FLOOD, EARTHQUAKE! WE CAN’T STAND ANY LONGER TO SEE THIS MASSACRE IN PALESTINE! THAT’S ENOUGH! WE WANT PEACE AND FREEDOM IN PALESTINE! Your state, your governments and Ministries ignore our needs, they choose to give it all for the profits of the few, to finance wars, to give our country’s lands and our families’ money to NATO to send ships and weapons to make wars, to kill people, and we with our families to struggle even for the simplest things! These days, we are strengthening the struggle and solidarity with the people of Palestine and their just demand to have their own homeland, to be freed from the occupation of Israel.
5. Why Everything good happens, everything we achieve, we do only when we fight, when we show solidarity, when we are all for one and one for all! This happened in Thessaly, in the fires, this happens in every school and every school year that with our struggles we succeed from the smallest (covering gaps, repairs to school buildings) to the largest (delays and withdrawal of laws)! We do not leave anyone alone and no one alone in difficulties! That’s why it’s time to hit the road again!
+1 BECAUSE IT’S TIME FOR STUDENTS’ VOICES TO BE HEARD LOUD AGAIN! THE FIRST LEARNING COURSE OF THE YEAR HAS HAPPENED! THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION ALSO CHANGED… TO KNOW US AS IT SHOULD BE: ON THE STREETS!
HOW WE PROCEED:

– We ask for the support of parents and teachers, as well as students, the whole people. May all of us march together!
– In each region, we are coordinating the schools with each other, we are operating our coordinating committees again and we are making posters, banners everywhere, we are making it known on the internet and social media about the appointment on 6/11.
