Education Ministry probes teacher’s alleged misconduct in Ancient Greek massage class

The Ministry of Education has launched an urgent administrative investigation into an incident at a vocational senior high school (EPAL) on the island of Evia, near Athens. A physical education teacher is accused of having students perform massages on him during a class focused on Ancient Greek massage techniques.

The incident drew public attention after a photo circulated on social media, showing the teacher lying semi-naked on a massage table. The image triggered immediate backlash and was later removed from online platforms.

Authorities from the Secondary Education Directorate and the Ministry of Education were promptly notified of the allegations, leading to swift action to address the situation.
