Abstract	Examining the educational system of Greece, this publication discusses the reorientation of policy, organization, and curriculum after overthrow of the military regime in July 1974. In accordance with the broader democratic principles set forth in the Greek Constitution of 1975, education is now compulsory for six years, free to everyone on all levels, and accessible equally to both sexes. Additional changes in response to post-1974 legislation include adoption of demotic Greek as the language of curriculum and instruction; encouragement of ethical, social, and religious development in pre-primary education; adoption of innovations from other countries; division of secondary education into a three-year basic and vocational program and a three-year advanced program; and development of new curriculum and teacher training programs in special education. Teacher training courses and in-service seminars have been lengthened and improved under the new legislation and a Center for Educational Research has been established. The increased demand for higher education led to establishment of the University of Thrace in 1974 and expansion of the 11 other institutions of higher learning. The Ministry of National Education plans further expansion of higher education facilities so that fewer Greek students will have to attend foreign universities. (Author/DB)
