Anna Diamantopoulou has had a long career in both Greek and European politics - having worked on of education, industrial policy and social justice. As such, she wants to work on this issue to build a more inclusive world as the next Secretary-General of the OECD.

Why did you want to run for the position?

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.

] is an extremely crucial and important program and it offers a lot and contributes a lot in educational assistance across the world. There was interesting cooperation with the United Nations to see that lifelong learning can be a new new human right. Older people must be obliged to participate in lifelong systems, and countries have to offer lifelong learning. Because otherwise, there will be a deep division between generations and big differences between countries, among countries.I think we can see first politically, what in the past post-pandemic period, what is the major challenge, and I think that this is inclusion.

Because of this fiscal expansion and because of losing income, this is what is losing taxation income, this is the problem for the government taxation plays a very important role, and always works on this issue for more than 50 years. So, there are two different areas; there is the BEPS [Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project] program, which is a very interesting one, and works on tax accounting data tax avoidance generally, which is extremely important for developed and developing countries.

There are two other areas. the first one has to do with the allocation of taxing rights, and the second one has to do with the minimum taxation. There are a huge number of countries dealing with this agreement. Some of them agree on the first part, some of them agree with the second part. So this is what the Secretary-General has to work to find a final agreement, and I think it is extremely important.
