EDITORIAL

An outsider in the knowledge society It is common knowledge that Greek schools as well as universities have fallen short of their mission. It is an utter failure, since the level of a country's education system greatly determines the degree of cultural development as well as its economic prospects.

Turkey's European course was arguably decided on October 2004 and the process is irreversible, if long.
