Exams start for aspiring university students

Students at a high school in the Athens district of Kaisariani sat university entrance examinations in Modern Greek on Tuesday. In a message posted on his Twitter account, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras wished aspiring university students good luck. "The national entrance exams are a very important moment in life, but not one that determines everything," Tsipras tweeted. He added that it is the government’s responsibility to ensure children can realize their dreams, saying that he hopes an educational reform bill currently under public consultation will help to this end.
