Considered
to be ‘repatriated Greeks’ are those pupils that were born abroad, returned to
Greece and have Greek citizenship. The thirty-four repatriated Greeks of
this school year were born in five countries:
10
in Russia, 4 in Georgia, 12 in Germany, 6 in Kazakhstan and 2 in Sweden.
There are also sixty-eight students among
the indigenous pupils whose parents have returned from the former Soviet Union
(the parents are repatriated Greeks). Some of those children have serious
learning difficulties. The parents have neither the knowledge of nor speak the
Greek language and as a result are unable to help the children at home.
