Schools in Greece to Start the Countdown to Finals and University Entrance Examinations


The return of students to classrooms after the Greek Easter holidays will signal the start of the countdown to the close of the academic year and the national examinations for entrance into university, according to the dates announced last September, ANA reports.

According to the schedule, kindergartens and primary schools will hold their last class for the 2022-2023 academic year on June 14. Secondary school students will follow slightly different schedules, especially as the last school grade will be sitting for university entrance examinations (panelladikes).

Specifically, the schedules are as follows:

– Kindergartens and primary school grades (nipiagogeio & dimotiko) will hold their last classes on June 14.

– In Grades 7-9 (gymnasio), classes will end on May 30, and final exams held on June 1-15.

– In grades 10-12 (lykeio), classes will end on May 18. But final examinations for grades 10-11 will be held on May 23-June 15, and for grade 12 from May 23-May 30. The graduating class will then sit for entrance exams for university. These will be held on June 2-12 for regular high schools (day and evening ones), and June 1-16 for professional high schools (day and evening ones).

Examinations on special subjects required by particular university departments (e.g. languages, music, sketching, and drawing) will take place between June 17 and 29.
