Sir Ken (Robinson) the famous educationalist, once said the obvious (but it is nice to be able to quote an expert) "... we have to raise the standards of education, we should... I haven't come across an argument that says we should lower them"
Well, A. Baltas, Greece's new minister for education obviously has found an argument in favour of lowering the standards of education. High standards and selection are, "Hitlerian in nature".
He proposes to put an end to pupil selection at certain "higher standard" schools.
Which is an excellent way to supplant and further Greece's mediocre educational performance.
Instead, he could have cogitated helping other schools reach the standards of the "special" schools -- or, better still for the country's educational system, remained at home.
