“…From 2000 till today, Greece's mean performance in mathematical literacy on Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) has been consistently below the OECD average, with an average difference from it, of around 40 score points which corresponds to one whole school year (Nolka & Sofianopoulou, 2021;Nolka & Sofianopoulou, 2022). This stable and low status may be partly justified by the poor alignment of Greek mathematics curricula and junior high school mathematics textbooks with the PISA mathematics framework and their strong content orientation (Nolka & Sofianopoulou, 2021;Nolka & Sofianopoulou, 2022;OECD, 2018a;IEP, 2019). But apart from this theoretical explanation derived from curriculum, a different way to explain why students in Greece do not respond very successfully to real problems or why they don't concentrate so many characteristics of a mathematically literate person, is to examine the ways in which they deal with such problems and to explore the difficulties they face and what factors might be hindering this development of mathematical literacy.…”

This book contains the full text of papers and posters presented at the International Conference on Education and New Developments (END 2023), organized by the World Institute for Advanced Research and Science (WIARS).Education is a fundamental right that accompanies us from the very beginning of our lives. It encompasses every experience we encounter, influencing and shaping our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Whether we engage in formal education within classrooms or learn from the world around us, the process of acquiring knowledge plays a vital role in our personal growth and development. It equips us with the tools to navigate the complexities of life, broadens our perspectives, and empowers us to make informed decisions. This International Conference seeks to provide some answers and explore the processes, actions, challenges and outcomes of learning, teaching and human development. Our goal is to offer a worldwide connection between teachers, students, researchers and lecturers, from a wide range of academic fields, interested in exploring and giving their contribution in educational issues.We have brought together a diverse group of individuals with various backgrounds to contribute their unique perspectives and knowledge on Education. By including people from different nationalities and cultures, we aim to create a rich plethora of experiences that can broaden our understanding of human nature and behavior. The exchange of ideas and experiences among our participants helps to cultivate personal and academic development, providing a platform for the exploration of new insights and discoveries.END 2023 received 758 submissions, from more than 45 different countries, reviewed by a double-blind process. Submissions were prepared to take form of Oral Presentations, Posters, Virtual Presentations and Workshops. The conference accepted for presentation 279 submissions (37% acceptance rate).
