A-Infos (en) Greece, eleftheriakos xhma patras: Concentration Thursday 4/3 12M. Sq. Georgiou | BLOCK THE EDUCATIONAL RESTRUCTURING BLOCK THE NEW ANTI-EDUCATIONAL LAW [machine translation]

Recently, following the educational restructuring that has taken place in recent 
years, the new bill on education was passed, which, among other things, provides 
for changes in the way of admission to higher education, introduces a student 
limit and establishes the creation of a university police corps. These changes 
are aimed at strengthening class barriers, further restricting the admission to 
higher education, intensifying studies, disciplining, controlling and suppressing 
student struggles. All this is happening in the midst of a pandemic and a traffic 
ban, with universities being completely wiped out as they operate through 
distance learning and the resistances that spring from there are quite reduced. 
Of course, passing bills in dead time,

The way of admission to higher education is changing radically, as now the 
minimum admission base is defined by the average performance of all candidates in 
the courses of each scientific field and by a factor determined by the university 
department and derived from this average. This will create a different entry base 
for each section, which will vary from year to year. The computer programs will 
now be done in two phases, where in the second one those who failed to catch the 
minimum admission base of the limited schools that had the opportunity to declare 
in the first phase (10% of the total faculties and departments of the relevant 
scientific field). On the one hand, this leads to the exclusion of many students 
from higher education and, on the other hand, it turns schools into examination 
centers, the feeling of competition between the students is cultivated but also 
the stress, as they are called to constantly prove their "value" and "ability". 
The exclusion of so many students from access to public higher education will 
force many of them to turn to private vocational schools, thus enhancing private 
education and profitability.

Regarding the changes in the higher education, the attendance limit is set n + 2 
for the fourth-year schools and n + 3 for those that require more years of study, 
which will result in the mass expulsion of students. It is a clear revenge 
measure that comes in the already intensified pace of study, with declaration 
limits, course chains and aims to discipline students and turn the university 
into an incubator of graduates - workers who will be productive to ensure greater 
profitability. of masters and submissive to their commands and appetites. In 
fact, any student who finds it difficult to cope with the increasingly 
intensified pace of studies is punished by expulsion. any student in this 
class-structured society is punished by belonging to the lower social strata and 
cannot cover the ever-increasing tuition costs. Any student who considers it his 
inalienable right to determine the pace at which he will study and the years it 
will take to receive his degree is punished, since their very system is what 
pushes many of us into the blackmailing condition of black. , uninsured work to 
make a living so that we can study at the same time.

The central point of this bill is the issue of "safety and protection" of 
universities. This plan includes the controlled entry of university premises, the 
surveillance by cameras of both the interior and exterior of the institutions, 
the establishment of a "Security and Protection Committee" and a number of other 
reactionary provisions. The university protection group (OPPI) that is 
established, belongs to the Hellenic Police and has as its main responsibilities 
the fight against "lawlessness and delinquency" within the universities as well 
as the execution of patrols. At the same time, the disciplinary code concerning 
criminal acts within the institutions is being upgraded (copies, obstruction of 
the proper functioning of the institution, use of unlicensed facilities, etc.). 
The penalties provided in case of performing the above acts include from a simple 
reprimand to a ban on participation in the exams and even a final deletion. It is 
obvious that the rulers seek to transform the open and public character of the 
university into a closed, guarded space in which any activity not directly 
related to the academic function will be criminalized and banned.

The establishment of university police, face control, surveillance and control in 
schools, disciplinary proceedings, the abolition of asylum express the ultimate 
goal of the rulers which is none other than the disarmament, fortification and 
retreat of the student movement, so that to launch their attacks on our acquis 
and interests with the best possible terms and correlations. They seek to form a 
university sterile from every trace of political fermentation, friction and 
discussion among students about their problems. A university where class student 
unionism and any attempt to organize collective resistance as well as any attempt 
to challenge state and capital plans will be fully supervised and criminalized. 
The presence of the police in the universities and the upgrading of the sentences 
have as a clear goal the breaking of student squats, imposing a condition where 
"law and order reigns". Law and order of the market, capitalist profitability, 
all kinds of arbitrariness (teachers and non-teachers), discipline, 
intensification and control. They crave a university fully aligned with the 
demands of the state and capital, a university of larger class barriers, where 
attendance is the prerogative of the few, the elite and the affluent, with 
student benefits evaporating and basic necessities for food, housing and 
transportation relocated. fully. Law and order of the market, capitalist

relocated. fully.

Against this dystopian reality, against the sterilization of universities and the 
denervation of struggles inside and outside schools, against the criminalization 
of social and class resistance and the suppression of demonstrations, let us be 
inspired by the struggles of the past and catch the thread. of resistance and 
struggle. From the Polytechnic of 73 ', the dynamic mobilizations in 06'-07' with 
the law of Giannakou, and in '11 with the law of Diamantopoulou to remember that 
nothing was given to us, everything is won through struggles. In the face of a 
culture of defeatism, individualization and assignment, let us promote faith in 
collective struggle, solidarity and self-organization. To turn the schools into 
living centers of struggle, into places of collective discussion, fermentation, 
challenge and resistance.
