description In Greece, the operation of the all-day school has been highlighted by the Ministry of Education as the most important innovation of recent years. Its main goals are provide a safe environment for students at the end of the compulsory school programme, their participation in activities of an academic, cultural and athletic character, and the opportunity to complete their homework. This paper examines and reflects critically on the function of all-day schools from a socio-pedagogical point of view, especially the role that they play in the current economic crisis. In our country, the future of the all-day school depends on a number of factors, not least of which is a greater awareness of their socio-pedagogical role, and a greater clarity as to their essential aims.
