Greek immigrant children

Greek schools can be divided into three categories: public schools, private schools and international schools. So, what are the advantages of these three schools? How should parents choose?

1 Greek public schools

The Greek Constitution allows all citizens to receive free public education, including permanent Greek immigrants. The funding of Greek public schools basically comes from the state and society. Education authorities not only supervise the use of funds, but also manage the courses taught by schools and the allocation and appointment of teachers. Public schools are the best way to learn Greek and learn more about Greek society.

Schools in public schools should also take the national unified examination. When local people enter public schools, they usually need to prepare private tutors for their children, which can improve their chances of passing the national examination. A big disadvantage of public schools is that they rely heavily on children's memories. This kind of mechanical memory is not suitable for every student.

2. Greek private schools Nearly 7% of students in Greece choose to attend private schools. Private schools are generally consistent with public courses, and most courses are taught in Greek. If you want your children to get a comprehensive and high-quality education, then private schools are a very good choice. Similarly, the educational facilities of private schools are absolutely first-class. However, statistics show that the proportion of applicants who immigrate to Greece who choose to attend private schools is not high.

3. Greek International School

International schools are a very suitable choice for the children of applicants who immigrate to Greece, because students, teachers and staff of international schools generally speak English, so students can adapt more easily and learn new knowledge faster.

At the same time, international study is usually conducted in small classes, and the teaching process is pure English, which makes the educational development of many immigrant children smoother and reduces some problems that may be faced in the process of adaptation.

Education in Greece is managed by the International Education Commission and the Religious Affairs Commission. According to the Greek education system, all children aged 6-65 should go to school.

(It should be noted that parents are not allowed to educate at home in Greece, and school-age children (over 6 years old) must go to school).

The education system is divided into six-year primary school, three-year junior high school and three-year senior high school. After finishing primary school, students can choose to attend vocational training colleges. At the same time, in the last year of senior three, students need to take the national unified examination in Greece to decide whether to receive higher education in the future. Education in Greece is also from September to early June.
