Support for students with disabilities in Greece

Greece, following its great cultural and human-centered heritage and acting to further develop and consolidate the philosophy of the welfare state, has taken important legislative steps to exercise social care for people with disabilities. Τhe Greek Constitution consolidates the principle of equity (Article 4), which is the cornerstone of the regulatory framework for disabled people and their treatment by the State, while Article 22 establishes the rights of disabled people at work and the protection of their work. Under these provisions, the Constitution of our country is in line with the most progressive constitutions in other countries, adopting the social model of disability.
