Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs

What no other prime minister dared to do, from the late Andreas Papandreou and his minister of education Antonis Tritsis in the 1980s, to Alexis Tsipras in the previous four and a half years - despite their stated intentions - was done by Kyriakos Mitsotakis. He clashed with the Church of Greece over the new coronavirus, and did not back down.

Education Minister Niki Kerameus yesterday condemned the attack on Monday on a teenager by fellow pupils at a high school in Vyronas, eastern Athens. 

"The Ministry of Education will be relentless toward such behavior," Kerameus said during a visit to the school. She said a team of psychologists and social workers would be sent to the school.

Education Minister Niki Kerameus condemned on Thursday the beating of a 17-year-old teen by fellow students after he tried to defend his sister against bullies.

Kerameus visited the school in the Athenian neighborhood of Vyronas, where the incident took place, saying that violence has no place in schools and noting that authorities are looking into the incident.

Former education minister Costas Gavroglou hailed a ruling by the Council of State which approved a change in the mission statement of the ministry as an "important day" for promoting the distinct roles of State and Church.
