[01] Papandreou visits Athens-area high school

In comments to accompanying reporters, Papandreou expressed a view that the government has failed in its education policy, whereas for PASOK it is a "primary issue".

He also appeared highly critical of the government over a recent incident in Thessaloniki, where television footage showed a college student being roughed up by several individuals later identified as undercover police officers on Friday in the vicinity where protests recorded.

Papandreou said "several ministers" would have already resigned in other European countries over such an incident.

The victim was later identified as a Cypriot man studying in Thessaloniki.
