Abstract:
The present paper is an attempt to interpret the legislative regulations for the time period between 2011 and 2015 regarding Experimenting Schools (ProtypaPeiramatikaSholia) and the policy of intentions, determined by the economic, political and social conditions. The “narratives” are activated by them, as internal automatic systems which trigger the functionality of institutions like education. The legislative development of the afore-mentioned period is being explored, as it is tied to an institution, particularly the regulations and prerequisites of students entering these special schools. More specifically, evaluation on special qualifications and skills is carried out based on selection criteria. The periods of evaluation conducive to attending these schools are being simultaneously scrutinized compared to the recently-formed legislation about selecting students by lot. Moreover, a framework formed by social meanings and symbolic existence about the concepts “charismatic person” or “high intelligence person” is being explored. They are meaningful references valuing “difference” to the creation of special schools. The aim is to correlate the developing function of these schools for charismatic children based on class and neo-liberal perceptions which reinforce – in the name of “the right to difference”- the content of standpoints. This is achieved by utilizing political structures of the nation-state and globalized political decisions. The underpinned new ideologies, as ipso-iure, through new fetish words – “modernisation”, “innovation”, “reconstruction” – impose and legalise, as “construction”, the “educational correctness” of an expanded type of differentiations. Perhaps, the educational structural differentiations are cancelled by the recent law of 2015. This way, deliberation is brought back as there is necessity to reform public education through expanded opportunity structures
