Greek government expands social assistance and education

Overview

The Greek government continues to expand its social assistance, housing, and demographic support frameworks. To combat population decline, a resettlement program is entering its third phase, offering €10,000 relocation subsidies to remote islands and border regions. Minister Domna Michailidou announced the expansion of this initiative to include seven municipalities in the Ioannina regional unit and parts of Thesprotia. Additionally, workers in Kastellorizo may receive an annual incentive of €5,000, plus €1,000 per child. To address housing, the ‘Home Renovation’ program has seen significant engagement, with over 91,000 eligibility certifications issued. The program has reached a 95% absorption rate. Property owners can also access income tax reductions of up to €16,000 for renovations performed in 2026, distributed over five years. The ‘Spiti Mou 3’ program continues to target households with loans up to €230,000. In education, the Ministry of Education has managed several transitions for the 2026-2027 academic year. Following the announcement of student transfer results—which included 4,571 approved transfers based on socio-economic criteria—a 30-day window for objections began on October 13, 2026. The Ministry also addressed staffing shortages by initiating an A2 recruitment phase for approximately 250 teachers. Student welfare measures include a reopened application window for housing allowances (ranging from €1,500 to €2,500) and a special 2% Panhellenic exam quota for students in natural disaster-affected areas. Furthermore, approximately 80,000 students in five-year programs face potential deregistration at the end of December 2026 unless specific academic criteria are met. Recent updates to higher education include the announcement of admission results for special categories, such as children of Greeks living abroad and graduates of foreign high schools. Out of 888 applicants in these categories, 663 were admitted, with enrollment scheduled between October 2 and October 9, 2026.
