REGION OF STEREA ELLADA

As far as the economy is concerned, the region is mainly agricultural and industrial. The Civil Service Section is also significant.
In all sections there is a reduction of working positions due to the financial crisis as well as the delayed adjustment to the new European and international data. An ageing of population is observed and a parallel reduction in the number of students especially in the more decentralized schools. There is an increase in the number of immigrants, who have reached the 10% of the active labor force, and whose children either don?t attend school at all or abandon school before they complete their compulsory studies.
The old-fashioned pedagogical  school system and the slow adjustment of schools to the rapidly created data, act as an obstacle to the  personal and professional development of students .
The cooperation of the two regions will help towards the better understanding of the two peoples, the exchange of good school practices and the improvement of the key competences.
