EDITORIAL

Disgraceful mess at TEI must be resolved Today's ad hoc meeting of the heads of the country's tertiary technical colleges (TEI) will be dramatic by its very nature as the institutes' presidents try to prioritize their demands in view of their meeting on Monday with the education minister. The situation in these beleaguered educational institutions is in itself dramatic; the dreams of about 120,000 students are doomed to be dashed, not to mention those of their parents.

COMMENTARY

Shows of militancy Once again serious issues of Greek foreign policy are in the spotlight, offering parties and politicians the opportunity to use a special sort of discourse which is of little use to those who want to understand the issues better. A few days ago, the FYROM name issue provided an opportunity for a torrent of declarations and comments by politicians, especially from the opposition. Subsequently, further opportunities for lofty rhetoric arose from matters directly connected to Turkish policy on the Aegean and Cyprus.
