As the Minister of Education, I have worked very closely, not only with the Secretary-General but with the services. I have been in Paris, I have worked with the people there because I asked for an evaluation of all Greek educational systems and primary, secondary, and universities and lifelong learning. Then, I proceeded with very big, fundamental reforms that did that school, university, etc. and the OECD played a very important role in that, supporting me, giving me data, etc.

So this is what the Secretary-General has to work to find a final agreement, and I think it is extremely important.
