In the caption of the post, he analyzes “our proposals for the Public University:

1. Doubling the teaching staff in order to reach the EU average in the teacher-student ratio.

2. “Heat everywhere” program. Construction of student residences financed by public revenue from the short-term rental sector.

3. Doubling the funds given to universities for research.
Because without research, the university cannot be connected to the labor market.

4. Rent deduction for student housing from taxable income.
– For leases up to €500.
-For family income up to €60,000.
-Beneficiaries: 150,000 families.
-Financial cost: €225,000,000.

5. Creation of self-governing pillars of foreign university programs within Greek universities. This is how prestigious universities will come to Greece.
