Let's agree that for years private education was demonized and that vested interests held public education hostage to the fixations of unions and civil servants. The decades that passed consolidated a specific reality in primary and high schools.

Domestic and international funds have been investing in the buying of well-known private schools, especially in Attica and Thessaloniki. The trend has been triggered by growing demand for private schools. Hellenic Statistical Authority data show the numbers of students at private schools have been rising over the last three years.
