Teaching

Greece's new digital tutoring platform is having trouble getting teachers to offer their services 10 days after its launch. 

Approximately 4,000 students attended the first live-streamed lesson but this number has since plateaued, likely due to the incomplete staffing of the platform.

Kyriakos Pierrakakis announced the passing of the bill for the Digital Tutoring System through a social media post. According to his statement, “The Digital Tutoring System will enhance the educational process in all grades. Specifically, for the third year of high school, there will be live and free teaching for all subjects that are examined nationwide.”

Education experts are hailing the advent of online cramming schools in Greece as an educational El Dorado, given that some are even paid up 1,200 euros from countries of the Middle East.

Two digital platforms currently operate in Greece. The company with the largest market share is GoStudent.

"Teachers are the ones we have to have the most trust in, parents are there to help, not to decide instead of the teacher," it was written in the description of the post.

Deputies unanimously with 190 "in favor" adopted in the second reading a draft law on amendments and additions to the law on preschool and school education. The bill introduces free textbooks for students from grades 1 to 12.

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.
