Το Πρόγραμμα για την Εκπαίδευση Προσφύγων του ΥΠΠΕΘ: αμφίσημες σχέσεις μεταξύ κρατικών και μη κρατικών φορέων στο πεδίο

Abstract

Since September 2016, the Hellenic Ministry of Education has implemented a programme for the integration of the refugee children into public education. The objective of this paper is the ambiguous relations that have been developed since then between the Ministry and the non-governmental organizations active in the field of refugee education. Following a brief presentation of the programme, the relations between the Ministry and the International Organizations (IOs) and NGOs are critically reviewed. There is also an attempt to explain the conditions under which these relations are shaped. Their main features are complementarity and competition, more or less. The reasons for competition are different at the central (macro-) and the micro-level, meaning staff relations between the Ministry and NGOs; still, there is obviously a downward effect, in the sense that the attitudes and behaviors of individuals are directly affected by the stance adopted centrally by an organization towards the Ministry of Education and its policy.
