A group of approximately 30 students gathered on Wednesday morning outside the Greek government headquarters in central Athens, protesting planned changes to the country’s education system.
The demonstration took place outside the main government building in the capital, where protesters voiced opposition to proposed reforms related to higher education governance and constitutional provisions concerning universities.
The students called for the government not to proceed with changes to Article 16 of the Greek Constitution, which regulates the framework of public higher education institutions. They argued that the proposed reforms could negatively affect academic studies and the value of university degrees.
Protesters also expressed strong opposition to potential measures that could introduce tuition fees for undergraduate programs, expand tuition-based postgraduate studies, and create equivalence between university degrees and qualifications offered by private colleges.
During the gathering, participants chanted slogans and reiterated their concerns about the future of public education and access to free studies.
Brief tension was reported between police officers and some of the demonstrators during the protest. However, no serious incidents or injuries were recorded, and the situation remained under control.
