on our schools”
The questionnaire questions have been suggested
by the students’ working groups of the three schools.
The main purpose of the research is to directly involve thestudents in a process which will offer them the opportunityto reveal their worries and anxiety as well as thedifficulties they face due to the lack of the financialsupport they need in order to finish their high schooleducation and either continue their studies or seek outemployment in their own country. In addition, it is ofparamount importance to take into consideration theirsuggestions and ideas in order to combat the problem.Finally, it is important to examine whether the students ofthe Aristotelion College (Lyceum) of Thessaloniki - Greece,the Solea Lyceum – Cyprus and the 3rd Karditsa GeneralLyceum – Greece, face the same problems and to presentthe similarities and differences of their views.
