"We support the minimum, so that no "first timer" feels more disadvantaged. Today, when schools start, we put one more stone in the disappearance of social exclusion, offering a little help to families who need it, so that no student is deprived of the things that are taken for granted. Happy school year to everyone!", said the Regional Governor of Central Greece, Fanis Spanos.

The Vice-Regional Governor for Social Care and Chairman of the Labor and Social Solidarity Committee, Yiannis Pergantas, said:
