Greece with the Highest Number of Unemployed Graduates in the EU

In 2018, Greece had the highest unemployment rate among university graduates aged 25-39 (19.9%) in the European Union, according to a study by the Greek Agency for Quality and Accreditation (ADIP).


The study also revealed that, although many students are admitted to universities in Greece, few are graduating. This is mainly addressed by the phenomenon of so-called "eternal students" - because of a system that allows undergraduates to continue their studies indefinitely.

I thought Greece abolished "eternal students" some years back - or maybe that was just the plan

Sami police have arrested a 37 y-o foreign national resident on Kef for theft of machine tools to the value of approximately 1000 euros. The arrest was in conjunction with Poros police as the theft occurred in the Poros area.

Wonder if he's responsible for burglaries in the area?
