[01] PM Samaras, Education minister Loverdos to meet on Friday on
universities' financial situation
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Friday will hold a meeting with
Education Minister Andreas Loverdos to discuss the financial situation
of the country's universities and technological educational institutions
(TEI).
Government Vice-President Evangelos Venizelos as well as Alternate
Finance Minister Christos Staikouras will attend the meeting, aimed
at finding ways to deal with issues related to spending cuts, which
amount to 12-18 percent for universities and TEIs and are even higher
for research centres.
The Education minister informed the Parliamentary Committee on Cultural
and Educational Affairs of the imminent meeting, outlining the proposal he
would submit. He said the ministry aims to find self-financing options for
universities and TEIs so that the educational institutions can overcome
the problems caused by spending cuts.
