Universities to hold remote exams due to student occupations

Remote exams will be organised at Greek institutions of higher education where it is not possible to take them in person due to student occupations, according to a decision taking at a meeting of university rectors on Monday 29 January, writes Apostolos Lakasas for Ekathimerini.

Rectors were forced to make the decision in response to the inability of deans to prevent the occupation of faculties by a minority of students who are opposed to a government bill that will institutionalise non-state universities.

Rectors said the digital exam option will be down to individual faculties and lecturers due to the autonomy higher education institutions have under the law. Faculties and lecturers, they said, must “choose the most appropriate method of student assessment”.
