Authors’ conclusion

Unanimous Decision of the Assembly of the Agricultural School of the University of Ioannina: We strongly protest to the Greek government that the assembly members of the Agricultural School of the University of Ioannina continue to hold the graduates hostage. Our school has not yet legislated an automatic return to professional agriculturist rights. Although our demand is perfectly reasonable and self-evident, it is good to remind the Greek community:

1. The University of Ioannina is a modern Greek public university, a unique regional pole in higher education, and the operation of the School of Agriculture since 2018 helps to strengthen its prestige and recognition in our country and internationally.

2. Since 2019, when the School of Agriculture welcomed its first university students, it has been organizing a modern five-year undergraduate study program, certified by ETHAAE (then ADIP) and 90% similar to the implemented study program. Through agricultural schools established in Greece and abroad

Covers all modern innovations and trends in agricultural science. At the same time, we take care of the completion of studies of technical students who were studying at school while attending the University of Ioannina, but with a four-year degree in technology ( TEI ), without any connection to agricultural studies of five-year students. After all, the latter (TEI graduates) enjoy state-recognized professional rights since 1989.

3. From 2019, the state selects prospective students through national level national competitive exams and sends them to our school to study agricultural science. Their graduation merits only a picture frame and without any professional reflection in Greece.

4. The lack of professional rights does not limit the attractiveness of our school, but practically calls into question its very existence, but the value and recognized value of the academic staff working in it, the updated curriculum it organizes, the modern greenhouse and the farm it manages in the Arta campus, the fully equipped laboratories with state-of-the-art scientific infrastructure at its disposal. . All of these young people, realizing the impasse they are leading to, seeing their dreams, their years, their families’ setbacks and their studies wasted, join their colleagues across Greece in reaching out to the government to foresee and legislate. years. Yesterday, Article 126 was presented in the bill of the Ministry of Development and Investments, which “provides” the return of the professional rights of agronomist to the graduates of our schools. The particular article, even now, reveals the government’s unwillingness to provide a clear solution to the problem it created. It is roughly and hastily written, maintaining the division into named agricultural schools.

The piles are invited to request their recognition piecemeal and individually, after first obtaining an opinion from bodies not qualified to engage in the profession, without giving an explicit time frame for the success of their claim, but ending in an ambiguous statement. Issuance of a joint ministerial resolution to maintain the hostage situation of thousands of graduates. We will bring all this to the attention of the national delegation in the coming days, and then no one can plead ignorance. According to all the above, we feel that the government is really questioning our work and its quality. Fully aware of our actions, with a sense of responsibility and dignity, the academic staff of the Faculty of Agriculture of the University of Ioannina tender our resignations to the honorable Mrs. To free the state from the Rector and our salary costs, because we don’t need it. Members of the Assembly of the School of Agriculture of the University of Ioannina
