The Education minister told reporters that "with regard to
multilinguism, that constitutes a priority and the innovation
platform of Greek national strategy for education, which bears the
title 'Greek citizen of Europe-citizen of the world', I believe that
we are within the European framework absolutely with the initiatives
that we have undertaken, both for the support of the Greek language
abroad and for the development and the certification of
multilinguism in our country."
Stylianidis also said that "Greece is among the first countries that
have introduced many foreign languages in all the levels of
education and it is substantively and successfully implementing the
policy of the state certificate as well in which over 200,000
examined people, until now, participated to certify foreign language
knowledge."
