Academic transfer

Elementary school students will no longer sit for result-based assessment and evaluation tests but will instead be guided toward process-oriented learning activities, according to the general instructions released by the Education Ministry for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Thousands of students across Greece on Thursday learned which universities they were admitted to as the Ministry of Education announced the minimum entry grades for Greek universities.

The thresholds were set based on students' results from the so-called Panhellenic exams held in June.

How will the Minimum Entry Score be determined – Only reputable universities will come – Each one must have a minimum of 30 professors and 3 schools, with the exception of universities that are in the top 20 globally

Greece ranks 19th among the states with foreign students in German universities, with 6,886 students studying in the country for the academic year 2022-2023, according to recent data from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

The Education Ministry on Wednesday announced the minimum grades high school graduates will need to score in their final exams to enter university at the end of the 2023-2024 academic year. 

The minimum scores on the nationwide university entrance exams vary between departments.

What else more than studying abroad can shape and mold students into well-rounded individuals who understand people from different cultural backgrounds and embrace people's perfections alongside their flaws? Experiencing new places and gaining a fresh perspective of the world while earning credits towards their degree is a dream for most students.

It is the first country to have its programme approved

The Commission considers that the efforts made so far by the Greek authorities have not been satisfactory and sufficient

The provision in the education reform bill that passed Thursday, that a passing grade is the minimum required for a student to enter university, will severely disrupt the operation of Greek public universities.

Given the ubiquitousness of remote learning, many teachers are opting not to evaluate their students using grades for the first four months of the school year, choosing instead to give a descriptive assessment of their progress. 

The reason cited is the lack of necessary data that would allow them to draw the necessary conclusions.
