Teacher

The average age of the 3,600 newly appointed teachers and the 140,000 permanent teachers is over 50, according to data seen by Kathimerini, a stark illustration of one of the many distortions of the Greek secondary education system.

Education Minister Yusuf Tekin has announced that his ministry will increase the service scores, which is calculated based on duty locations and seniority, of teachers who will continue their duties in the quake-hit region.

Experts are raising the alarm that teen violence has become commonplace in Greece, also noting growing instances of self-harm and suicidal tendencies.

"You cannot manage that school if a series of things happened and a series of problems exist. Surely there were problems, primarily the director must resign and coercive measures must exist in that school," Antic told Tanjug.
Anti believes that the main blame for the tragedy lies with the father of Kosta K. (13), who trained him how to use firearms.

The long-awaited evaluation of teachers will start next week, beginning with the newly appointed ones, as their assessment is a condition for a full-time contract, the Education Ministry announced on Thursday.

With the start of a new project in Istanbul's Beylikdüzü province, some 44 "shadow teachers" started assisting students with down syndrome and autism in classrooms.

"Shadow teachers" are expected to share the same row with the inclusive students throughout the day and act as a mediator in the triangle of family-school-child in the educational aspect.

Kosovo pupils found their classrooms empty of teachers on the first day of new school year, after the teachers' union acted on warnings to strike to force the government to increase their salaries.

The school strike adds to another strike which started last week by administrative workers in many central and local institutions.

The schoolyear will begin with the singing of the national anthem of Serbia.
Classes will be held "regularly", in schools neither students nor teachers will be required to wear masks, and the School Team will continue to review the epidemiological situation on a weekly basis, regularly updating recommendations, which will be changed as necessary.

The first reliefs of the measures against the spread of the coronavirus, introduced by an order of the Minister of Health Prof. Asena Serbezova, come into force today (February 24).

They stated that the epidemiological situation is becoming increasingly difficult, and that "the collapse of the educational system is possible due to the illness of teachers."
