Greece - Geniko Lykeio Mouzakiou

  • General Lyceum of Mouzaki is the largest school unit of Public High Secondary education in the municipality of Mouzaki. It has administrative and financial autonomy and its students have accomplished significant success in the exams to enter High Educational Institutions of our country. There are 105 students (between the age of 15 and 18) and 18 teachers (high level professionals). Both of them give their best effort to achieve a common educational goal. Our school is established in an agricultural area, where people are mostly farmers or workers in the wood industry area. So our first priority is to give our students opportunities to open their mind by meeting persons or living situations that they cannot in their region. Actually, General Lyceum of Mouzaki is a school with a lot of activities and always opens to innovative ideas. Our teachers try to prepare their students in the best way for their adult life developing first of all their critical thinking. They undertake individual or team projects and pursue the development of students’ creative skills and generally the creation of a research spirit by searching for data through different sources. Also they participate in student competitions or congresses developing in that way their social abilities. Knowledge is everywhere for us. People who will run the projects are : the Headmaster of Institution Mr Filippou, the teacher of informatics Mr Mouziouras and the teacher of Physics Mr Kalabalikis. In case these persons leave their post (although the teachers are permanent teachers in this school) there is a team following them that is accomplished from : the teacher of Economics Mrs Giannakou, teacher of English Mrs Krametou and the other teacher of Physics Mr Kassos (all of them very active and with high level of English). More specifically, Mr Filippou has experience in various administrative positions in public sector for almost two decades and organized EU projects (as a teacher in 7th secondary school of Karditsa – Comenius Projects). Mr Mouziouras has experience in organizing EU projects (Leonardo Da Vinci) as administrative assistant at Vocational Training Institute Of Karditsa. Also, he has two years administrative experience as deputy manager of the Vocational Training Institute in Karditsa (he speaks two languages too). Mr Kalampalikis speaks English fluently and is one of the most creative teachers in our school with a lot of participations in student physics competitions. Also, he has extensive administrative experience as a deputy mayor of the municipality of Mouzaki.
