Up to 5,000 students obtained diplomas from private technical high schools (TEEs) and used those qualifications to apply for public sector jobs even though they had not met graduation criteria and, in some cases, had never attended classes, sources told Kathimerini yesterday.
Public sector inspectors found that seven private schools in Larissa, three in Kavala, two in Trikala, two in Arta and one in Athens had accepted up to 20,000 euros in tuition fees from each student to give them diplomas that they allegedly should not have been awarded.
Three of the schools in Larissa have already been shut down but the other institutions are being investigated by authorities.
Sources said that the suspect diplomas have been used to apply for jobs at hospitals and nursery schools.
Private and state-run TEEs were set up a few years ago to provide students with an alternative source for vocational training.

Subject: FYROM decision endangering flight safety
The government in Skopje recently decided - in breach of the interim agreement with Greece - to rename that city's airport 'Alexander the Great', after the great Greek military commander and civiliser.
The Greek Civil Aviation Service and the Hellenic Air Force, however, registered the airport of Chrysoupoli (Kavala) under that name with the ICAO (and with all other international organisations) 15 years ago. The result of this situation is that enormous risks have now been created which endanger flight safety owing to the fact that two neighbouring FIR will be using the same name for two airports in close proximity.
How has the Council responded to make FYROM (which aspires to EU accession) understand that its decision endangers the safety of thousands of passengers?".
