EDITORIAL

Finding money for education Government spokesman Theodoros Roussopoulos told the press yesterday that the first installment of the state benefit to primary and pre-school teachers will put an additional 54-million-euro strain on the 2007 budget. «Do you think that money is just peanuts for Greece's taxpayers?» Roussopoulos asked. Considering the economy's dismal state, the goverment cannot give away any money - not even that 54 million euros - without serious consideration.

COMMENTARY
