Greek 2026-27 education reforms and school year start

Overview

The 2026-27 academic year in Greece is characterized by significant curriculum reforms, staffing efforts, and social welfare initiatives. The Ministry of Education has introduced an autonomous Ethics course for students exempt from Religious Studies and implemented the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in 11 public schools. To address systemic shortages, the Ministry appointed 5,259 permanent teachers and initiated a large-scale recruitment of substitute teachers, aiming for a total of 45,000 to mitigate the previously noted deficit of over 21,000 positions.

Schools officially reopened on September 11, 2026, with traditional religious blessings (agiasmos), followed by the commencement of regular lessons on September 14. The academic calendar includes various national holidays, such as the October 28 anniversary, with specific regional adjustments in Thessaloniki due to the celebration of Saint Demetrios.

Social support continues through the expanded ‘School Meals’ program, managed by the Ministry of Social Cohesion and Family. Covering 1,982 primary schools and special education units, the program provides up to 240,000 daily meals to support student nutrition and prevent dropout. To ensure safety, Receiving Committees and the Hellenic Food Authority (EFET) monitor the entire distribution chain.

Student engagement remains a priority through the 13th Panhellenic and European School Sports Day, themed ‘Jump towards the Future’. This initiative promotes physical activity and inclusion through various athletic events across the country.
