Educating the Whole Person? the Case of Athens College, 1940-1990
Educating the whole person? The case of Athens College, 1940-1990 Polyanthi Giannakopoulou-Tsigkou Institute of Education, University of London A thesis submitted for the Degree of EdD September 2012 Abstract This thesis is a historical study of the growth and development of Athens College, a primary/secondary educational institution in Greece, during the period 1940-1990. Athens College, a private, non-profit institution, was founded in 1925 as a boys' school aiming to offer education for the whole person. The research explores critically the ways in which historical, political, socio-economic and cultural factors affected the evolution of Athens College during the period 1940-1990 and its impact on students' further studies and careers. This case study seeks to unfold aspects of education in a Greek school, and reach a better understanding of education and factors that affect it and interact with it. A mixed methods approach is used: document analysis, interviews with Athens College alumni and former teachers, analysis of student records providing data related to students' achievements, their family socio-economic 'origins' and their post-Athens College 'destinations'. The study focuses in particular on the learners at the School, and the kinds of learning that took place within this institution over half a century. Athens College, although under the control of a centralised educational system, has resisted the weaknesses of Greek schooling. Seeking to establish educational ideals associated with education of the whole person, excellence, meritocracy and equality of opportunity and embracing progressive curricula and pedagogies, it has been successful in taking its students towards university studies and careers.

A Radical Greek Evolution Within the Eurozone
A radical Greek evolution within the eurozone For John Milios, seen as the most hardline of Alexis Tsipras’s advisers, the country’s humanitarian crisis is the top priority John Milios’s phone rings a lot these days. There are hedge funds and financial institutions and investors, all curious to know what the German-trained professor thinks. As chief economist of Syriza, the far-left party that has sent markets into a tailspin as it edges ever closer to power in Greece, the academic has had a prominent role in devising the group’s financial manifesto. He is the first to concede the programme is radical. “I am a Marxist,” he says. “The majority [in Syriza] are.” Sipping green tea in his favourite Athens cafe, he explains: “Alternative approaches to the economy and society have been excluded by the dominant narrative of neoliberalism.” Milios, who attended Athens College, the country’s most prestigious private school – graduating in the same class as the former prime minister George Papandreou –is part of an eclectic group of experts advising Syriza’s leader, Alexis Tsipras, on the economy. Others include the Oxford-educated Euclid Tsakalotos, the political economist and shipping family heir Giorgos Stathakis, the leftwing veteran Giannis Dragasakis and the Texas-based academic Yanis Varoufakis. If the Athenian parliament fails to elect a new head of state by 29 December, the Greek constitution demands that snap polls are called. The ruling coalition’s narrow majority has made it unlikely that the government’s candidate, Stavros Dimas, will get the presidency. With the radicals in the ascent, Milios and his fellow Marxists are likely to take the reins of the EU’s weakest economy.

For years, the Forum has been a key event for providing in-depth information to the US investment community regarding business opportunities in Greece. We recognize that Greece and the US have historical strong ties and a proven record of achievement when working together. My recent US visits have reinforced our relationship. This year, marking the 15th year of its history, is even more important, as the Greek economy is undergoing a major overhaul. Sweeping reforms in all sectors address bureaucratic distortions and inefficiencies with which we had put up for too long, and which effectively made our economy a closed economy.

Sandra Ghandi Al Azzeh, Education for Employment alumnus Sandra Ghandi Al Azzeh is an alumnus of Education for Employment (EFE). She graduated from Bethlehem University in 2012 with a degree in Hotel Management. Despite the challenging job market in Palestine she was able to find a receptionist position in the hostel of a local Lutheran Church. After three years there, she realized that there was no opportunity for advancement and felt that she was being exploited as a young worker. Looking to advance her career, in 2013 she applied for the hospitality training program at Palestine Education for Employment (PEFE). PEFE had partnered with Ararat Hotel, a luxury hotel and the second largest in Bethlehem, to help the hotel source entry-level employees with strong time management, customer service and communications skills needed for positions in the hospitality agency. After the month- long training course, Sandra was placed into a job at Ararat and has quickly moved up in the ranks, becoming a front office supervisor. She aims to become the general manager of a hotel, and wants to focus specifically on recruiting young, entry-level employees.

Educational philosophy and content are seen as pawns in the social and political struggles of those years. Detailed coverage of the historical events describes the structure of education as it has evAved and the battles that brought about a popular, practical aspect to curricula. In this struggle the use of demotic or popular Greek is a real aswell as symbolic issue. The slow progress of modernization, impeded most recently by the 1967 military takeover is described as the result of Greek pride in a cultural heritage embodied in traditional, classical education. Reforms achieved in 1964 are seen as indications of what may come with time. Greek terms are used throughout the history and are defined in a glossary at the end. (JH) TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER I.
