"From Greece to France, we want public and free education," was heard at protests in Greece.

Tens of thousands of students and teachers in Greece protested for better educational conditions, demanding more funding and smaller class sizes. Demonstrations occurred in Athens and other cities, with around 10,000 participants in the capital. The Greek Minister of Education acknowledged the students' concerns and mentioned ongoing projects to improve school facilities. Rising living costs, exacerbated by fuel and energy price increases, have affected the purchasing power of Greeks, which is among the lowest in the EU.
