“Artistic education is not being recognized, as we have repeatedly requested, and the salary increase – otherwise positive – can only be seen as a repeat of the offer made to the National Theater High School of Dramatic Arts teachers the day before they were fired. which they did not accept and resigned.”

This is indicated by today’s statement of the Panhellenic Federation of Acroamat Shows, referring, in particular, to yesterday’s response of the Deputy Minister of Culture, Nicholas Giatromanolakis.

According to a statement from POTHA, the deputy minister “claims that the problem of the artists is a matter of wages”, while “an attempt was made to target them, and especially the general secretary of the Hellenic Actors’ Association.” .

At the same time, POTHA calls for participation in the mobilization of students of art schools on 23.02.2023 at 12:00 in the Propylaea, since the EP proposed by the Ministry of Culture still, as they say, treats artists “as unqualified and include their degrees in secondary education (DE)”.

As for the sector’s demands “for the establishment of a state higher arts education and the provision of a unified state arts education at all levels, as well as for the strengthening of the student body with the provision of free meals, housing and books, they remain active along with the entire field of our demands,” concludes the announcement. .
