Greek Sign has been legally recognized as the official language area of the Deaf community for educational purposes in Greece since 2000.
Since 2000, according to the aforementioned law, as well as 3699/2008, knowledge of the Greek Sign Language is a mandatory qualification for the recruitment of new professionals in the education of deaf students.
In addition, the law stipulates that the state is taking measures to promote it and to cover all the communication needs of the deaf and hard of hearing citizens.
The educational material that exists in the Greek Sign Language is limited.
Since 2010 there has been a steady increase in the production of accessible educational material in electronic and printed form for deaf students.
