More than one in two parents express concern about the safety of their children in the school environment!
According to a new nationwide survey by Focus Bari, entitled: “Parental concerns in Greece: From safety to school shopping” , it is found that:
- Mental balance & bullying are the main parental concerns most prominently among moms and parents of teen and pre-teen children at the start of this school year.
- For the new school year, parents choose school supplies mainly based on low prices and offers, taking into account the preferences of their children, while quality and durability seem to come in “second place” in view of the tight finances in Greek household.
- The average expenditure on school supplies is €128, with older parents spending more.
- Almost three out of four parents prefer to buy school supplies from physical stores, with just 7% opting exclusively for online shopping for these items.
- Parents sourced school equipment from both well-known chain stores and local bookshops, with some choosing supermarkets.
