Learning Outcomes
The aim of this course is for participants to gain basic knowledge about how the minority education policy works, about certain rules that govern it, to understand the political and diplomatic dimension exists, as well as the function of stereotypes in its design and implementation. The approach of the implementation of the minority educational policy in the Greek political and social context, aims to give them the opportunity to understand the reasons why the Greek minority policy has evolved this way under the influence of international and national actors to stand this tradition for the modern management of minority policy.

Course Content (Syllabus)
The Greek state's minority educational policy followed to a certain extent the development of Greek nationalism and the geographical expansion of its borders. A breakthrough was the integration of the so-called New Countries into the State. The increase in the number of heterogeneous and minority populations in general has had a direct effect on the development of policies for the educational management of these populations. National, linguistic and cultural homogenization and assimilation are key issues. However, along with the assimilation, which was proposed for xenophobic and not only fluctuating populations, other minority policies were adapted to the demands and obligations of the state. This course examines this process from the interwar period to the present day.
