The bill is a solid constitutional step 2024-03-06 12:45:44

In support of what he said, he cited the names of leading constitutionalists who, with their opinions and articles, fully support the government’s point of view, among which Mr. Venizelos, Manitakis, Alivizatos, Skouris Spyropoulos, Delis to complete “the country does not have the luxury and time to wait and remain stagnant, we are the last in the world to have such a provision as Article 16 and we are convinced that the interpretation of the constitution in the light of EU law allows the establishment of branches of foreign universities”.

Mr. Pierrakakis fully clarified the myths regarding the admission bases in state and non-state universities and stated “It is not going to happen that someone enters public medicine with a 19 and the branch of the foreign university with a 9. Anyone who supports this is comparing apples to oranges . We legislate that whoever cannot be admitted to the public university will not be able to enroll in the non-profit either. The admission criteria will be decided by the branch’s parent institution and will be approved by the Greek administration, i.e. ETHAAE. Take a look at the universities of Cyprus and you will see the admission framework, the criteria are completely different and much higher than those circulated in the Greek literature or supported by the opposition”.

The Minister of Education defended the government’s policy on the grant of the public university. ” 176 of the 205 articles of the bill concern the public university. Every year we increase his grant, which until 2018 was decreasing. We are investing more than one billion in infrastructure and at the same time we are increasing the student housing allowance to 2,500 euros for universities in the province.”

Regarding PASOK’s attitude, he argued that “it changes every week. In the first week of the bill they appeared to agree and have a positive attitude, in the second the Finnish model was discovered, in which it is noteworthy that 30% of high school graduates are admitted to HEIs every year. Does PASOK agree with this restriction?”

To the accusation that the bill is “settlement of interests” he replied: “Settlement of interests is to remain, by invoking myths, in the current unregulated situation, as happened with the colleges, where the country was forced into a selection of judicial decisions, without itself to exercise national sovereignty. With the bill we are doing exactly that, we are exercising national sovereignty. Colleges were given professional rights by the European courts, we are given academic rights and we ourselves define what is a university and what is not.”
