The Ministry of Education, Religious Affairs and Sports (Greek: Υπουργείο Παιδείας, Θρησκευμάτων και Αθλητισμού) is a government department of Greece. One of the oldest ministries, established in 1833, it is responsible for running the country's education system and for supervising the religions in Greece. The incumbent minister is Sofia Zacharaki. Greece is one of the two countries that have not signed the Lisboa convention which has been ratified by all 47 member states of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg (2012). To this day, the independent department of professional recognition of academic degrees called ATEEN, still acts illegally against graduates of recognized open universities. In 2023, the Council of State published its decision against the ministry's actions of the discriminative non-recognition of degrees.
