Many graphic designers graduate from various schools

Low quality of education at many of these courses mainly offered

by private schools

Quite limited opportunities for employement

A few schools for printing - graphicarts technology

High degree of requests for printers - unexperienced people

Training on -the-job


CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAPHIC ARTS EDUCATION IN GREECE

Old-fashioned curricula.

Many schools offering graphic design modules -

courses.

Only a few schools offering graphic arts education

Special needs and requirements of certain branches of

the industry such as Graphic Arts are ignored from the

educational organisations (Public and private).

employees do not have access in the desing of

education within the sector and to educational reforms.

Reforms within the educational and training systems

are taking place only atis done on a horizontal level (no

sector approach).
