In Greece, there is currently a debate on the system of admission to public Universities.

The article I published in the Journal of Editors (“Efimerida ton Syntakton” in Greek) suggests that instead of action on the admission system, the educational community should rather act on higher education itself, providing more high-level options to young candidates.
