With a video and specific examples, the press representative of SYRIZA-PS, Dora Avgeri, responds to the Minister of Education regarding the non-state universities and what the government did yesterday for the mouth of the minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis.

In particular, Mrs. Avgeri accuses the government of lying, stating:

“SYRIZA-PS is opposed to the New Democracy government’s bill for the establishment of Private Universities. The reasons are many and have been analyzed many times. The presentation of the upcoming bill by the competent minister, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, confirms us.

Why; Let’s look at an example.

K. Pierrakakis (SKAI): “In order to be a candidate, he should meet the minimum admission requirements of the scientific field he is interested in. This will result from the average of his performance in the courses of the scientific field he is interested in multiplied by 0.8”.

Let’s see what the minister said means practically.

At Athens Law, the last successful student is admitted today with an average of 18,125 points. In Komotini Faculty of Law, the latter is admitted with an average of 16,985 points. With the law of the ND, he will be admitted to the Law School of a Private University with only 9,380 points.

Electrical Engineers of NTUA. The latter has an average of 18,820 points. In a corresponding Private will be introduced with only 9,840 points.

Medicine of Athens. The latter has an average of 19,000 points and in Alexandroupolis Medicine 18,300. With how many credits will someone be admitted to Medicine at a Private University? With just 9,300.

The government’s blackmail and unabashed lies are clearly visible in the paintings. As well as her attempt to trick and exploit the anxiety of young children and their parents.

He consciously hides the truth, claiming that what he proposes ensures equal access for young people to all universities. While at the same time it violates the Constitution multiple times.

The government of the so-called “excellent” proves once again that it is not interested in public higher education, nor in real excellence, nor in meritocracy.
