The intervention of the Ministry of Education, Religion and Sports was also caused by the incident of intra-school violence and intimidation that occurred in a high school in Nea Ionia.

In addition to the criminal procedure that has already been initiated, a series of procedures was immediately launched, according to a relevant information from the ministry.

According to the information in question, as of yesterday, November 6, a Sworn Administrative Examination was ordered in order to attribute any responsibilities to the School Management as well as to the teachers who were allegedly present in the incident.

In addition, an extraordinary meeting of the Teachers’ Association will be held to impose pedagogic measures on the students who used violence.

The ministry also reminds that “there is the possibility that the students in question can move to schools separately, outside the municipality in which they were studying”.

As for the student who suffered the abuse and his brother, according to the relevant information they will have psychological support “for as long as necessary”.

Finally, from the ministry’s point of view, it is underlined that “everything that happened and contravenes the school regulations will be subject to disciplinary action”. Among them, students smoking in the schoolyard in the presence of teachers, as well as throwing stones at a television crew.
