Teachers in the Aetolia-Acarnania region have issued a protest through the Agonistiki Syspeirosi Ekpaideutikon B’ ELME union regarding administrative management at the start of the school year. 

The union claims that staffing shortages and service changes are being handled through “opaque administrative practices,” alleging that educators are being held “hostage” by the Directorate of Secondary Education. The group accuses the administration of implementing policies that shift the burden of vacancies onto individual staff members, citing a lack of transparency and the denial of legal leaves as factors negatively impacting professional and family life.
