An Interview with Class 10A: “EDUCATION AND FANATICISM”
1.
UP FOR SCHOOLS is a petition -an initiative which calls for signatures in order to help children who don’t have access to education.
2. How many people are in your team and what is your subject? Why did you choose this specific subject?
In our team we are 22 people and divide into 5 smaller groups. Our subject is “Education and Fanaticism”. We were given this subject, so we didn’t choose it, however it is really up to date
3. How is Fanaticism related to Education in Greece?
We try to eliminate fanaticism through education. It’s something we have to do anyway as there are people from different social, political and financial backgrounds here in Greece, so we have to try to live with them.
4. Have you felt any improvement as far as your knowledge and use of English language is concerned? Have you noticed these improvements or any differences to your level?
Actually there is quite an improvement. We have learned new things about fanaticism as well as new vocabulary. Furthermore we can hold presentations in English.
5. Will there be a presentation of the project?
There will be a presentation of the project at the end of the year, but only for the 10th grade.
6. Do you believe that Education is in danger because of Fanaticism?
Education makes people independent, broadens their horizons, offers experience, so educated people cannot be threatened by fanaticism.
