78 Social Education and 20. ERMIS Ministry of “ERMIS” proposal aims at funding an investment project of medium funding scale for the creation No 0.100 0.04 Intellectual Property rights issues
of a national center to manage an integrated supply chain considering the production and
Infrastructur training PROJECT Education & distribution of school books in Greece and in Balkan countries. The investment proposal is based concerning school textbooks
e Religious on an IT infrastructure that has already been operating in our country and through which the
Affairs supply chain of school books is controlled and coordinated (demand estimation, production, Issues concerning the legal form of
storage, packing, distribution) using a national e-shop for books. The proposal includes an
investment on printing facilities, a center to edit the context of books, contemporary logistics’ collaborating companies and Greek
facilities and a system of controlling the distribution. In addition to that it includes the expansion of public sector
the platform for managing the school book into other languages and various supply chains for
school books. The main perspective of the proposal is the collaboration of public and private
sector, the implementation of an organized network of printing facilities, distribution companies
etc, which they could participate in the investment and/or could have a discrete role in the
implementation and the service which would operate under the coordination of single centralized
management. Due to its macroscopic scale, the national center would provide the following
advantages for other Balkan countries: (A) A fully automated and in time supply chain of school
books, (B) A reduction of the cost and the total financial resources as well and (C) The ability to
operate under various national institutional statuses of distributing school books.
Thus it would be useful in educational systems that don’t have the ability to dispose large amounts
of funding for such a project. Such cases are for instance Balkan countries. The investment
proposal contemplates the conclusion of discrete agreements through which the center will take in
the implementation and operation of the platform, the production and distribution of school books
with given budget that will on one hand provide a reduced cost, guarantee the quality of the
service, the adequacy and rapidness of the supply chain in these countries and on the other hand
will guarantee the sustainability of the center.
Also, our country will benefit through the: (i) Collaboration of public and private sectors in
producing and distributing school books, (ii) Stimulation of exports and the increase of foreign
revenues, (iii) Modernization of the national printing industry and (iv) Increase of the employment
rate.
As a pilot program, the production and distribution of school or other e-books with educational
content could be addressed to the student population.
The investment proposal is concerned with: (a) The establishment of contemporary facilities for
the conversion of books in their e-book version, (b) The development and operation of a platform
to handle the provision of e-books, (c) Agreements with other countries to supply their student
population with educational content and (d) Agreements with Greek and foreign publishers.
The advantages of the investment proposal focus mainly but not solely in the following: (I) The
know-how development in the publishing and administration of e-books, (II) The development of
extroverted activity with economic benefits for the Greek public sector and the private sector as
well (publishing companies, authors) and (III) The creation of the necessary conditions to employ
specialized staff (IT engineers, software developers, graphics designers etc).
