On 10 November, Greece’s education ministry announced a €2.1 million call to adapt an initial 439 school titles for pupils with low vision. The editions form part of preparations to introduce a choice of textbooks from the 2027–2028 school year.

Each title is to have adapted volumes in 18-point and 28-point type. The work will also address the layout and readability of maps, tables and symbols.

The deadline of 3 March 2027 at 14:00 is for organisations submitting funding proposals. Assessment and a funding decision will follow. That date is neither a deadline for families nor a distribution date.

For the current 2026–2027 school year, CTI Diophantus has a separate ordering process through schools, which also includes adapted general education books for vocational upper secondary schools.
