Thanks to all contributors for successful conduct of the ASEP pan-Hellenic competition but also to them 77,000 candidates who came under the psychological weight of the tragedy in Tempi, the president of ASEP addresses with his announcement Athanasios Papaioannou. For some delays experienced in playing the themes “although these were sent with absolute time consistency”, as he notes, states that he will look into the matter and underlines the need for a written competitive process with an emphasis on skills.

In particular, regarding the question of the subjects, Mr. Papaioannou points out that he received complaints from candidates about problems and delays observed during the reproduction of the subjects in some examination centers, although these were sent to the schools with absolute timeliness. He states that he and the Central Competition Committee will study them “with due attention as soon as we form a complete picture from the reports of the presidents of the examination centers”.

It goes without saying that the evaluation process starts immediately after the completion of the publication of the results. He also states his firm belief in the “need for a written competitive process that will shift even more towards skills».
