Greek schools are preparing to reopen, with the first bell scheduled for Friday, September 11. The day will include the customary blessing ceremony at schools across the country.

Teachers will return on September 1 to organize school operations and prepare their buildings for students. The opening day will focus mainly on welcoming students and providing information about the year ahead.

Students will attend the blessing ceremony, receive instructions from teachers and school administrators, and collect their textbooks. Each school will announce its own arrival and ceremony times in early September.

Full teaching is expected to begin on Monday, September 14. The Education Ministry has made filling teacher vacancies a priority and aims to complete substitute-teacher hiring so the school year can start with as few staffing shortages as possible.
