ΔΙΚΑΙΩΜΑ & ΕΠΙΛΟΓΕΣ ΣΤΗΝ (ΤΡΙΤ/ΘΜΙΑ) ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗ_____
Πάμε λοιπόν, με τα βασικά! Οι συνταγματικές πρόνοιες στη χώρα για την προσφορά τριτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης δεν είναι μόνον αναχρονιστικές, αλλά και προκαλούν αδικίες. Γι' αυτούς που έχουν αναπτύξει ώς τα 17/18 τους χρόνια τις ικανότητες να διαπρέψουν σε επιστημονική γνώση και δεν έχουν τις απαραίτητες οικονομικές δυνατότητες. Το ΔΙΚΑΙΩΜΑ στην ΕΚΠΑΙΔΕΥΣΗ και μάλιστα στην τριτοβάθμια αφορά στη διασφάλιση εξίσου της ευκαιρίας σε όλους, που βρίσκονται στην ίδια ηλικιακή βαθμίδα, να εκπαιδευθούν και να αποκτήσουν τα αντίστοιχα επιστημονικά-τεχνικά προσόντα. Και όχι στη διασφάλιση εκπαίδευσης σε όλους! Ένα σύγχρονο ευνομούμενο κράτος, που επιδιώκει διαρκώς να αντιμετωπίζει τις αναδυόμενες ανισότητες, πρέπει να πασχίζει να βρίσκει λύσεις για να τις μειώνει ή και να τις εξαλείφει. Για παράδειγμα, δεν πρέπει να "απαγορεύει" την προσφορά υψηλής ποιότητας εκπαιδευτικών προγραμμάτων επειδή δεν μπορούν να έχουν "όλοι" πρόσβαση σ΄αυτά! Αλλά, αντίθετα, να επιδιώκει να μπορούν να έχουν πρόσβαση όσοι έχουν τις δυνατότητες να μετάσχουν σ' αυτά και, επίσης, η πολιτεία να διασφαλίζει όσο γίνεται περισσότερες ΕΠΙΛΟΓΕΣ σε όλους, ανάλογα με τις δυνατότητές τους. Αυτά μου ήλθαν στον μυαλό, με βάση τη σημερινή παρουσίαση των προσφερόμενων MBA προγρ/των στο διαδίκτυο (online) από τους FT. Σε αντιπαραβολή με τα τόσον εξωπραγματικά και αναχρονιστικά που ακούστηκαν στο δημόσιο διάλογο ενόψει της εισαγωγής και ψήφισης του πιο πρόσφατου νομοθετήματος που έρχεται να ρυθμίσει κι άλλο την τριτ/θμια εκπαίδευση. Τουλάχιστον προσπαθεί να αντιμετωπίσει τις προαναφερθείσες αδικίες, λόγω των προβλέψεων του συντάγματος, παρέχοντας τη δυνατότητα ίδρυσης μη κρατικών οργανισμών τριτ/θμιας εκπ/σης. Ας ελπίσουμε ότι το πολτικό προσωπικό της χώρας θα καταφέρει επιτέλους να "αναθεωρήσει" τις συνταγματικές προβλέψεις, στο μέλλον, ώστε το δικαίωμα (ευκαιρίες) στην τριτ/θμια εκπαίδευση να διασφαλίζεται εξίσου σε όλους, ανάλογα με τα προσόντα τους, προσφέροντας τους πολλές επιλογές προόδου, αντί μονόδρομων και αδιεξόδων!

Our company is very proud to participate with its experts to the 7th Working Party on PPP development in the Palais des Nations, Geneva. Halfway to 2030, progress on the Sustainable Development Goals is slow, and in some cases, even gone into reverse. Investment in sustainable infrastructure and digital transformation -coupled with capacity building- remains crucial to build stronger and more equal economies, societies and systems that can support their people and contribute to a brighter future for the planet. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have the potential to unlock private capital into the much-needed infrastructure and the delivery of public services.
