The ongoing debate over the constitutional amendment concerning Article 16, which pertains to higher education in Greece, has become particularly prominent in the special committee discussions. The focus is on whether to allow the establishment of non-public universities. The political party PASOK has expressed conditional support for this amendment, specifically advocating for a constitutional guarantee that such institutions would operate on a non-profit basis.

Critics of the current educational framework, including the political figure Stylianidis, have labeled the existing system as a "dictatorship of mediocrity," arguing that it has hindered Greece's progress. In contrast, other political factions, such as SYRIZA, KKE, and NIKI, have expressed opposition to the proposed changes, while the party Greek Solution has voiced its support for the amendment. The discussions also encompass the current state of public universities and consider relevant legal interpretations and EU regulations, pointing to a broader examination of higher education in Greece.
