What Changed?
A planned school renovation phase moved into works implementation, with a defined list of schools and municipalities covered.
Old System vs New System
Before this step, the second phase of the renovation programme had not yet entered the announced works stage for the listed schools.
Building Infrastructure S.A. will implement upgrade works in 238 schools or school complexes, with financing through a 100 million euro donation from four systemic banks through the Hellenic Bank Association.
Who Is Affected?
Student Impact
Students in the selected schools may attend buildings with improved sanitary facilities, insulation, roofing, waterproofing, and maintenance after works are completed.
Parent / Family Impact
Families may benefit from improved safety and building conditions at the schools included in the second phase.
School / Institution Impact
Schools included in the programme must coordinate with works teams and local authorities while upgrades are planned and carried out.
Teacher / Staff Impact
Teachers in affected schools may experience temporary works-related adjustments and later improved classroom and building conditions.
Key Dates
- 2026-06-15: second phase works announced
- 2026-2027 school year: studies for another 450 schools scheduled to begin.
What To Do
- Selected schools and municipalities should monitor works timelines
- safety arrangements
- and readiness before the next school year.
What To Watch Next
The next items to monitor are completion before school opening and the launch of studies for the next 450 schools.
Global Context
