The purpose of this Working Paper is to study the factors which affect the education of Greek high school students in issues of international relations and foreign policy with an emphasis on European education. In addition, it is attempted to illustrate the level of their familiarity with the basic concepts and institutions of the international system and the European Union, as well as, their participation in programs on international studies and related issues within the school through a structured questionnaire which was answered by one hundred students in the period 7-12 July 2017. Proposals are being made to upgrade the study of both international and European institutions as well as the social sciences generally. Particular emphasis is given to developing the skills needed to understand the ever-changing international environment.
