Junior ‘UN’ in Athens’s Koliatsou Square

The 22nd Primary School complex in Nikopoleos Street, one of the narrow roads behind Koliatsou Square, is one of six local schools in the same compound and, outwardly, no different from the others. However, of its 136 pupils, 106 are foreigners - 77 percent, the largest percentage of foreign pupils in any Greek state school. It is different, but not in the way we imagined when we walked in the school gate.
