Soon after the Greek nation was established there was an extensive migration of Greeks to the newly established free Greek nation. Some came with their whole family, including all their brothers with their wives and children. Some did not move their families, but they sent their children to schools of free Greece. The schools of the capital of Greece, Nauplion, were flooded with students from all parts of Greece which were still under foreign rule. | Soon after the Greek nation was established there was an extensive migration of Greeks to the newly established free Greek nation.

Greeks have long treasured education as a channel for social mobility and a way of recovering their glorious past and of achieving national progress. Modern revival of education started in the eighteenth century under Ottoman rule, but it was not until 1929 that education was made compulsory at the primary level. In 1964 education was made free at all levels. | Greeks have long treasured education as a channel for social mobility and a way of recovering their glorious past and of achieving national progress.
