ΚΥΡΙΑΚΟΣ ΠΙΕΡΡΑΚΑΚΗΣ,ΥΠΟΥΡΓΟΣ ΠΑΙΔΕΙΑΣ:" "Η ενίσχυση των Στρατιωτικών Σχολών είναι ζήτημα πρωτίστως εθνικό..

.. είναι θέμα υπόστασης της χώρας"
Συνέντευξη στην εφημερίδα «Κυριακάτικη Απογευματινή» και την Πένυ Αβραμίδη.

Κύριε Υπουργέ, ανακοινώσατε την Πέμπτη μαζί με τον Υπουργό Εθνικής Άμυνας μια δέσμη μέτρων για την ενίσχυση των Στρατιωτικών Σχολών. Ποιοι λόγοι σας οδήγησαν σε αυτή την πρωτοβουλία, τι περιλαμβάνει και ποιοι είναι οι στόχοι σας;

Η πρωτοβουλία μας αυτή έρχεται ως πρώτη αντίδραση στο φαινόμενο κάμψης του ενδιαφέροντος για εισαγωγή στις Στρατιωτικές Σχολές. Συγκεκριμένα, την τελευταία τριετία καταγράφεται μειωμένη κάλυψη θέσεων, η οποία φέτος έφτασε στο 64% των συνολικών θέσεων.

Για τον λόγο αυτό, εξαγγείλαμε με τον Υπουργό Νίκο Δένδια μια σειρά δράσεων, όπως η αύξηση των Επιστημονικών Πεδίων πρόσβασης στις Στρατιωτικές Σχολές από το 2026 και η καθιέρωση
