Kyriakos Mitsotakisat the event of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs on the theme: “4-year project on education – Change in practice”, held in the Concert Hall.

“I will not hide from you that I felt satisfaction and emotion when I saw the summing up of the work done over these 4 years, but first of all, after listening to the personal stories of our fellow citizens who were touched to one degree or another by this very important educational reform that we are implementing,” – the prime minister added, even emphasizing that “it would not be an exaggeration to say that in the last 4 years a quiet revolution has been taking place in education.”

We have been consistent in our campaign commitments.”

“We are with libraries, not with sledgehammers, we have proven this in practice. The important work done should have continuity. And let me tell you that if there is a field where the dividing lines between our faction and the official opposition, at the level of perception, at the level of yesterday’s ideologies, are so sharp, then this is the field of Enlightenment. N.D. it must continue so that this very important work that has been done is not canceled and we do not return to other eras that we want to leave behind,” he added.
