Thank you, as always Ms. Sue.
You're welcome.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you understand the educational system in Greece.
In Greece, the educational system is divided into three levels: primary education, secondary education, and higher education.
1. Primary Education: Primary education in Greece is compulsory and spans over six years, starting at the age of six and ending at the age of twelve. It focuses on basic knowledge and skills including reading, writing, mathematics, science, foreign languages, arts, and physical education.
2. Secondary Education: Secondary education in Greece is divided into two cycles. The first cycle, called Gymnasium, is three years long and starts at the age of 12 or 13. This level further builds on the foundational skills acquired in primary education and introduces subjects like history, geography, technology, and economics. At the end of Gymnasium, students take national examinations.
After Gymnasium, students have the choice to continue onto the second cycle of secondary education, called Lyceum. Lyceum is another three-year program that provides more specialized education and prepares students for university entrance exams. There are three types of Lyceum: General Lyceum, Technical Vocational Education, and Professional Vocational Education.
3. Higher Education: Higher education in Greece is offered by universities and technical educational institutes. Students must pass national exams, known as the Pan-Hellenic Examinations, to gain admission to a higher education institution. The duration of undergraduate programs in Greek universities is typically four years, leading to a bachelor's degree. Postgraduate programs are also available, including master's and doctoral degrees.
To get more specific and detailed information about the educational system in Greece, you can visit official government websites, educational department websites, or consult educational guides and resources published by trusted organizations.
I hope this helps you understand the educational system in Greece. Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know!
