The Greek government managed to push a contentious bill for university reform through Parliament on the 24 August 2011, securing the support of the main conservative opposition New Democracy and raising hopes of an elusive cross-party consensus on broader reforms that the country’s Socialist administration has been seeking since the debt crisis took hold. The bill - which paves the way for independent evaluations of university academics and for restrictions on the length of time students have to complete their degrees - was voted into law following two days of debate in Parliament. Hundreds of Greek students protested outside parliament against the proposed shake-up that will introduce more competition into universities. |
