THE GREEK SCHOOL

• The Greek school is divided in: primary school (6 years), secondary school (3 years) and the senior high school(3 years). The children go to school at age from 6 to 7 and they finished at age of 18.

• The education is compulsory of age 16 from the first week of September until 26 June 7 hours every day (expect of weekend). The most important holidays during the school year are: summer holidays, Christmas holidays and the Easter holidays.

The school year is divided in two periods: the first and the second four monthly. At the end of each period students take a report with their marks. The school marks are from 1 to 20.

The classes are composed from 20 to 30 students

During the lesson mobiles phones are not permitted.

• We’ve got 13 basic subjects. Mathematics, Greek language, Ancient Greek Language, Chemistry, Science, History, Biology, Physical Education, English, Religious Education, and Information Technology.

Our opinion:

• In the Greek school’s organization there are not only positive things but also there are many negative things.

• First of all we go at school only mornings of 5 days of week. So, we have the weekends to do everything we want.

• Our educational system is very exam oriented.
