  University reform bill passed by committee

  A draft bill envisioning reforms in the higher education sector was approved by a majority of deputies late on February 28 on Greek Parliament's educational affairs committee.
  
  Concluding the meeting, Deputy Education Minister Spyros Taliadouros said "a simple comparison between the proposals presented by the government for discussion last June and today's bill shows that dialogue did take place and that proposals were included."
  
  ANA quoted Taliadouros as saying, "the draft law is the product of extensive dialogue, it has a specific issue, it is part of an overall strategic planning, it comes to link funding in the framework of four-year planning with a binding agreement."
  
  Earlier, representatives of university rectors and higher education foundation presidents on February 28 mostly expressed positive comments over a draft bill proposed by the education ministry, speaking before the parliament's educational affairs committee.
  
  At least two speakers stressed that the bill includes quite a few proposals which the bodies themselves have proposed, whereas further clarifications are needed to define the state's obligations towards the foundations.
  
  Education Minister Marietta Yiannakou accepted a request by rectors' and presidents' representatives for foundations to determine themselves, within the framework of their four-year planning, the number of new admissions that can be absorbed on a yearly basis.
