Two parents associations in the town of Oreokastro are threatening to occupy schools to block refugee kids from attending.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...b0fbd4b7bc9b7bAs the new school year kicked off in Greece, the country’s Ministry of Education announced a plan to enroll 22,000 migrant and refugee children in schools around the country.
The children, who fled war and poverty, are stranded in camps and refugee centers all across Greece, where opportunities for learning have been limited.
But the ministry’s decision to help them gain access to formal education has already been met with resistance. Two parents associations in Oreokastro, a town on the outskirts of Thessaloniki in northern Greece, have issued statements saying they will not accept the 420 migrant and refugee children living in the area in their schools.
The two associations, for the 1st primary school of Paleokastro and 5th primary school of Oreokastro, said their decision was “unanimous” and threatened to occupy school premises to oppose the children’s entry.
