Greek education program expansion 2026‑27

Entities: Public Vocational Schools (Σ.Α.Ε.Κ.) · Ioannina Dairy School · General Secretariat of Vocational Education, Training and Lifelong Learning · Greek Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports · ΦΕΚ 4676/Β΄/2025

Overview

In July 2026 the University of Peloponnese opened applications for new graduate programmes, including an MBA in Agri‑Food and teacher‑training courses offered by ASPAITE. The programmes target the 2026‑27 academic year and outline application deadlines, tuition fees and selection procedures.

A few weeks later, in early August 2026, the Greek Ministry of Education announced a broad expansion of public vocational schools, adding 95 new specialties across 860 sections for the same academic year. The rollout covers 116 schools nationwide, with free tuition and possible housing allowances, and details the application process and eligibility criteria.

Together, the announcements illustrate a coordinated effort by Greek authorities to broaden higher‑education and vocational training opportunities for the 2026‑27 period, spanning both university‑level graduate studies and secondary‑level vocational education.
