The Second Chance School of Ioannina is a public school founded in 2003 and managed by the General Secretariat for Lifelong Learning which is the executive authority for Lifelong Learning in Greece. It addresses adults who have not completed their 9-year-old compulsory education and aims at offering them a second chance for the acquisition of a study certificate. It is co-funded by the Greek Ministry of Education and the European Union.
