    It seems it’s on par with a lot of the EU, and exceeds other countries in some areas. It does have a shortage of some undergrad degrees, and without a degree, unemployment is higher. Having been to Greece several times in a major city, English is spotty. Younger people are far more likely to speak/understand it. I would expect in more rural areas the English is even harder to find. One thing I did note (anecdotally) while there was the number of very educated people doing “unskilled” work like driving cabs because the economy still sucks. I ran into a college professor driving an Uber because the pay for teachers was so poor.

    None of this is an indictment of the education system, and data would seem to indicate Greece is doing OK as far as that goes. At least for those that stay in school.
