Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke of universities becoming more independent, criteria for additional allocation of state funding, and research and innovation, during a speech in Parliament’s plenary debating the new higher education draft bill on Tuesday, ANA reports.
Furthermore, the premier said, the current quality-assessing authority for higher education (ADIP) would be replaced by the National Authority on Higher Education, which will have a broader role and measure a university’s social and productive effectiveness.
Under the draft law, universities will be able to plan their own future and manage their state funding as they wish.
