Protest sit-in at Agros High School

On Monday, January 20th, following a vote during the general assembly of the pupils of Agros Junior High School and High School, a decision was made to hold a sit-in. The pupils issued the following statement:

"We demand the safeguarding of our rights to a safe and healthy educational environment, denouncing the indifference of the authorities, who fail to respond with the necessary effectiveness. We demand a resolution to these issues. We are fighting for humane learning conditions and equal opportunities for all pupils. Although the school is designated as a PISA school, it does not meet the required standards (internet connection, computers) for the competition to take place."

2. Inadequate funding.
3. Protection of pupils' rights for a better educational environment.
4. Unsuitable or damaged school furniture and equipment.
5. Unsafe and unhealthy conditions.
6. Insufficient ventilation in the prefab classrooms.
7. Lack of basic hygiene supplies (toilet paper, soap, sanitiser).
8. Lack of essential educational materials (A4 paper, printer ink).
9. Inappropriate conditions for the only Panhellenic examination centre.
