The Operating Statutes of the ‘’Ekpaideftikós Omilos’’
Stella Chantzi
ABSTRACT:
This specific proposal refers to the operating statute of an educational company of the beginning of the 20th century in Greece. It is about the Educational Association ‘’Ekpaideftikós Omilos’’(ΕΟ), which was founded in 1910 with the founders Tsirimokos, Triantafyllidis and Delmouzos with the aim of the educational improvement of Greek teachers and Greek schools. Initially, a draft statute was drawn up as a basis for drafting the first statute, which included fourteen articles. A slight modification of the original statute follows. In 1928, a new statute was passed, with changes in the management and operation of the Group as well as in the methods of its action. Socialist identity of the union, and its internal regulation, was drawn up. After March 1929, the new amended statute was ratified. The purpose has remained the same: the reformation of Greek education, but not the methodology: The trend of democratization, the dominance of left-wing views and, at the same time, a trend of direct discipline by the Central Administrative Committee (CAC) of the Association, are obvious. The ‘’internal regulation’’ is also presented, who regulated in detail the life of the union, in all events, that is, local sections, conferences, general meetings, central administration and training centers, which constituted editorial institutions, with a more democratic dimension to the operation of the EO.
