further integration of persons belonging to the Muslim minority in Thrace into wider society, in an affective and inclusive way and the improvement of access to the labour market. Lack of education is crucial for economic marginalisation. 12. One of the major obstacles in ensuring employment is the lack of national language competence. The majority should enjoy the right to learning its maternal language, at the same time competence in Greek (the national language) is absolutely essential. While respecting linguistic, religious and cultural rights of the Muslim minority there has been continuing effort in furthering the educational opportunities for the mastery of Greek language. The most important challenge is to introduce children from preschool to catch up with Greek. The number of minority children enrolling in upper secondary education, especially that of girls, is growing very quickly, while drop out rates from compulsory school are going down at a fast pace. 13.

Trainees in the Programme “Learning of the Greek Language as second language by employed Immigrants” 2005-2008”men 6842-women 9031. 14.

Lessons to students who failed exams and were leftover for the autumn exams: 391 students’ high school and upper high school-success 80%. Two communities with high drop out rates 17 students leftover for autumn exams, 14 students passed exams. 222 students participated in the Creative Workshops for Youth during the summer 2011.

Mobile units visiting remote minority villages (library, laptop, learning with electronic games). Enhancement courses in primary schools, high-schools and upper high schools.
