There are four grading systems (or scales) in Greece â four different GPA â one for higher education, one for secondary education, and two for primary education (grades 3 to 4 and 5 to 6).
In 1st and 2nd grades in Greek primary schools there is only descriptive evaluation, with no grades included. In the 3rd and 4th grade grades are only letters (ÃÂâÂÂÃÂ) and in 5th and 6th grades numbers ranging from 1âÂÂ10 are used.
The 20-point grading system's range is widened in secondary school.
The Lyceum school has 32âÂÂ35 hours per week, with 20-point grading system, Law 4610/2019 The Apolytirio certificate qualification receives an additional final mention (level of distinction) with which it has been earned.
The table below depicts the Greek Grading system while illustrates approximately how the Grades are compared with ECTS, US and UK grades:
Depending on the school, grade inflation in Greece is rare and it is not uncommon for an examination to be failedâÂÂor passed with grade 5âÂÂby the vast majority students. Most of the degrees can be equivalent to a bachelor's degree with honours BSc(Hons) / BEng (Hons) since all courses are 4 to 5 years and most of them professionally accredited. All modules, from all years, must be passed with a minimum grade of 5.00 (50%) in order for a degree to be assessed/awarded and there is currently no limit in resits. The classification (á¼ÂÃÂùÃÂÃÂñ, ÃÂïñý ÃÂñûὠÃÂ, ÃÂñûὠÃÂ) is derived from the overall credit-weighted average for all modules including the 'diplomatiki' (university/polytechnic) or 'ptichiaki' (TEI).
