If you could make two changes in the educational system of your country, what aspects would you change? Support your ideas with reasons and examples and discuss how the changes you suggest would improve the system.
Educational systems, all around the globe, have proven through history to be problematic, regarding their efficiency and productivity. But, some minor changes to these, could help improve their effect on students. In
this
write up I will suggest two changes and how these would profit the curriculum.

Firstly
, one of the main aspects of Greek schools is the Panhellenic examination. Linking Words
This
, is a gathering up of all the knowledge from previous years, all summed up in 3 hour tests and is the sole criteria in order to have access to universities. Linking Words

For example

Lastly
, another development would be to give lessons a more human perspective, replacing the limiting technocratic scope.
Regarding the positive outcome of the above, because students would be tested for their suitability for the job they want to pursue, and some of their academic skills, a higher percentage of them would pick a university they truly desire. Linking Words
This
can result in a happier and more sustainable life in the future. Linking Words
Moreover
, a smaller amount of teenagers would drop out of school, because of an unfair education curriculum.

Finally
, with a more humanitarian view of learning, the individuals that finish their compulsory years would have developed more complete personalities.
In conclusion, these improvements should be made in order to sustain children in education. But, it's my firm belief that, only if more and more people start complaining and protesting about Linking Words
this
situation, a solution can be found.Linking Words
