Greece ranks second to last in the EU in state spending on education
According to recent data that has come to light, Greece ranks among the lowest in the European Union regarding state spending on the education sector. Our country is now second to last on the relevant list, surpassing only Romania.
The main opposition party, SYRIZA, has expressed deep concern regarding these findings. According to the party's announcements, the situation in the education sector requires immediate attention from the state, as investments in knowledge form the foundation for the country's development.
Particular reference was made to the 2026 state budget. According to estimates, the picture presented by the new budget regarding education spending is considered particularly alarming, which raises concerns about the future of the educational system.
The debate over the funding of schools and universities remains a central issue on the political agenda. Citizens are waiting to see if there will be changes in the state's priorities so that public education can be strengthened and Greece's position at the European level can be improved.
