Nat'l Theater faculty resign en masse in response to presidential decree
Teachers at the National Theater of Greece's (NTG) Drama School resigned en masse on Wednesday over a controversial presidential decree.
The NTG's Drama School Asssociation of Teachers protested the decree, which equates the diplomas of drama schools with high school diplomas.
In a press conference on January 24th, NTG teachers had warned they would resign if the government failed to amend the decree by February 8th.
The news was announced over the loudspeakers at the students’ sit-in at the National Theater premises on Agiou Konstantinou Street in central Athens which started on February 5th.
Students have occupied the Ziller Building premises of the National Theater since February 5th over the same issue.
