Short Answer

There has been production of educational material that takes into account the diversity of school population, but official curriculum remains essentially monocultural.

Qualitative Info

Educational material has been produced through several research projects concerning immigrant students and cultural diversity issues took place in the framework of the Operational Programme for Educational and Initial Vocational Training (ΕΠΕΑΕΚ), such as the «Integration of Roma children in School» (University of Ioannina, http://projects.rc.uoi.gr/projects/?lang=el&keID=18), the «Education of Repatriated Greek and Foreign Students» (University of Athens, www.keda.gr), and the «Education of Muslim children» (University of Athens, http://www.museduc.gr/index.php). Nevertheless, curriculum remains essentially monocultural; even in intercultural schools curriculum and educational material is the same with mainstream schools.
