OELMEK expresses opposition to proposed teacher evaluation criteria

The Organization of Greek Secondary Education Teachers (OELMEK) has formally expressed its disagreement with the proposed teacher evaluation criteria currently before the House of Representatives. OELMEK argues that the criteria remain vague, subjective, and lack measurable indicators despite prior feedback provided to the Ministry of Education over several months. According to the organization, these criteria form the basis for numerical grading, which directly impacts the professional trajectory of educators. OELMEK contends that the current framework undermines meritocracy and fairness within the educational system. The organization has requested that the House of Representatives conduct a thorough review and delay the voting process until significant amendments are made. Furthermore, OELMEK called upon the Ministry of Education to refine the framework to ensure it is objective and transparent. The organization asserts that adopting the current proposal would amount to deregulation rather than reform. No final vote has been recorded at this stage.
