Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras called for a broad dialogue on education issues that will be far removed from the problems of the past, after attending a presentation of the ND-affiliated DAP-NDFK student organisation's proposals on education.
Samaras said that DAP, with the platform it presented, 'broke' the decades-long established mentality in Greek education, and called the proposals bold and specific, which were finalised after a long process of public dialogue.
"You see what is going on in Europe, where the universities are the steam engine of growth," Samaras said, calling the proposals a lesson in politics because they tackle the real problems, and a lesson in democracy because "you know how to listen".
The proposals include abolition of the university asylum, and amendment of Article 16 to allow private univerisities.
