“How To” for Education: The new video of the SYRIZA campaign

The new and fifth spot in a row of SYRIZA from the “How To” campaign concerns education. What the Opposition’s plan sums up

“Do you want to live the student life you deserve? We want it for you too” writes on social media the president of SYRIZA – PS Alexis Tsipras presenting the new video of the youth campaign “How To”.

The topic, in the new and fifth spot in a row, is the great pillar of Education.

As SYRIZA points out, the entirety of Mitsotakis’ policy in this field is the meeting of neoliberal ideologies with extreme right-wing perceptions.

“The meeting of the perception that wants to turn Education from a social good into a commodity and democratic conquests into a field of authoritarianism. From the Minimum Admission Base that leaves tens of thousands of young people out of higher education and turns its back on the big interests of private colleges to the University Police the Mitsotakis doctrine on Education is the permanent limitation of the youth as the main force that emerges. All for the profit of the very few and for the anachronistic perceptions of ultra-conservative audiences,” he says characteristically in a related announcement.

According to SYRIZA, the youth is the target of government policies and dominant rhetoric with derogatory characterizations for young children, but also for education officials, as well as for the popular and average Greek family for whom the public – free – democratic and therefore fair Education is the one and only institution of social mobility.

Youth itself is humiliated when one cannot envision the future to which one is entitled because of class exclusions and anti-democratic barriers.

The Official Opposition emphasizes that there can be no real development without social development and the level of Education of a country is one of the measurable indicators and, “in contrast to all the anachronistic counter-reforms of the Mitsotakis government” describes its holistic plan for public education the which includes:

• Establishment of 14-year compulsory education.

• 20,000 appointments of permanent teachers and professors of primary and secondary education. Enactment of automatic recruitment clause.
• School meals for all kindergarten and primary school children.
• Doubling state funding to universities and the number of faculty members over four years. Free graduate programs.
• Restoring the admission system of “green” and “red” faculties with the possibility of free access to the university.
• Restoring the operation of the Two-Year Study Programs.
• National Student Housing Scheme.
• Repeal anti-education laws of ND, EBE and university police.
