2nd General Lyceum, Xanthi- Greece
It is the second senior high school (lyceum) in the town of Xanthi and it is considered to be a comprehensive school. The average number of students is about 500- 550 and their age is 15-18.
Most of the students belong to the working class or even to families with quite a low income. The largest percentage of them are Christians but due to the multicultural environment of our town there is a considerable amount of Muslim students.
Moreover, there are Muslim students coming from the mountainous region of the area who are called pomaks and who speak their own dialect. Also, students who are descendants of the returnees from the Black Sea attend lessons too. It is obvious that different languages (Greek, Turkish, and the Pomak dialect) are spoken in our school and all students together with the teachers coexist harmoniously.
Last but not least, most of the teachers participate every year in training sessions organized by different educational bodies or organizations. A few of them hold a post graduate degree in their field .
All in all, the headmaster and the teachers are willing and they are constantly trying to make the school more appealing to students, especially now that our country is suffering due to the crisis and the austere measures that we have to conform to.
