Thousands of university students have marched in Athens and the northern Greek city of Thessaloniki to oppose an education reform Bill that would increase the policing of campuses.

About 5,000 protesters, most of them wearing masks due to the coronavirus pandemic, took to the streets of central Athens in a largely peaceful march on Thursday, while roughly 1,000 people demonstrated in Thessaloniki.
