This article critically examines the influence of neoliberal educational policies on the primary education curricula in Greece. It analyzes how these policies shape curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation, considering the impact on educational goals, teaching practices, and student outcomes. The analysis draws upon critical pedagogy and discourse analysis to explore the underlying ideologies and power dynamics embedded within the curricula. The article argues that neoliberal policies prioritize market-oriented skills and standardization, potentially undermining the development of critical thinking, social justice, and holistic education.
