Significant Delay in Special Education Bill, MPs Say

MPs expressed strong criticism over the significant delay in submitting a bill to modernize special and inclusive education. They emphasized that the existing framework is outdated and consultation on the issue has been ongoing for decades. The President of the Education Committee, Pavlos Mylonas, described the delay as a “shame” and called on the government to prioritize the issue, while highlighting the need for significant financial investment and policy decisions. Other MPs, such as Giorgos Karoulas and Christos Christofides, underscored the lack of progress and the need for comprehensive consultation with stakeholders.
