A-Infos (en) Greece, protaanka: Circulation of the 5th sheet of the "Black and Red Flag" - Special edition for education (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

"MAVROKOKKINI SIMIA" is a monthly informative political newspaper that 
circulates in the western suburbs of Athens. This sheet is a special 
edition decided against the backdrop of current developments around 
higher education and has been designed exclusively by the students of 
the Anarchist Saints Anargyro - Kamaterou Initiative. The aim of the 
publication is to circulate to universities and schools, especially 
those based in the western suburbs, and it will also be made public for 
free reading on the internet in the near future.
The paper's editorials deal with issues related to the planned 
educational restructuring, on the occasion of the bill that has been 
announced by the government for the establishment of private 
universities, but also more general issues regarding the institution of 
education, the process of admission to schools, the continuum of reforms 
and the struggles of the student youth. Our common finding is that the 
understanding of the purposes of the new bill presupposes its 
interpretation in relation to the previous ones and its recognition as a 
link in a coherent chain of transformations, which is progressively 
moving towards a new neoliberal reality that does not only concern 
universities. In other words, it is part of a more comprehensive 
restructuring process, which if in other areas of social and economic 
life has progressed significantly, in the field of the university it has 
encountered obstacles, which are expressed through student resistance 
and the different relationships of power that traditionally characterize 
it .

Nevertheless, we should avoid the danger of an idealization of the 
university that leads to a problematic logic of "defending" "how it is", 
in opposition to what it is trying to "be". Just as it would be a 
mistake to see the new bill detached from the rest and outside the rapid 
social changes that are taking place, so we should not perceive the 
university as a detached institution, which is in the hands of the 
students, even and symbolically. On the contrary, the university was and 
is a class institution, it is ideologically specific and functions as a 
field for the export of specialized personnel to meet the needs of 
capital's profitability. Public or not, guarded or not, the university 
aims at the ideological formation of the young and the feeding of the 
capitalist mode of production. In light of this admission, the struggles 
against the reactionary reforms of the governments must also begin and 
in this light the criticism of their goals should also be conducted. 
Greater responsibility, for the broad deconstruction of the university, 
is borne by the anarchist forces that act and resist within it.
