The creation of a specialized four-member group of experts (task force), with the aim of directly informing the educational community on how to act on the issues of violence in schools, was announced by the Deputy Minister of Education, Religion and Sports, Domna Michailidou, speaking to alfavita.gr.

The team of experts will examine the complaints that will be received on the Special Digital Platform for reports of incidents of intra-school violence which is being prepared and will be in constant communication with the school on the development of the issue, will supervise and, whenever necessary, will also make on-site visits. There will be specific protocols, i.e. who will record, what will be recorded, how the recorded information will be used.

Also, Mrs. Michailidou announced the change in the way of recording vacancies in schools from the next school year, through a central human resource management system, with a complete objective recording that will speed up the procedures and clearly reduce the suffering of the children, but also permanent recruitment of 4,000 to 5,000 teachers per year, for the next four years.

Finally, the Deputy Minister of Education stated that with the 3rd recruitment phase “we will have the largest coverage in terms of special education staff”.
