Learners' assessment in Greek educational system

General Upper Secondary School (Lykeio)
The final pupil assessment stems from two parameters:
a) Pupil assessment during the terms co-estimating:
  • Their active participation in the entire teaching-learning process
  • Their diligence and interest in the subject in question
  • Their performance in the one hour written tests on a certain amount of taught material. An hourly written test is performed for every subject during the first term, or if not possible during the second term. Besides the hourly written tests, pupils are assessed by short written tests lasting from 5 to 15 minutes, without prior notice in the form of short and variable questions.
  • Their work at school or homework.
  • Their creative projects which are co-estimated for assessment of the respective subject, for the term they are submitted. These projects can be individual or group projects and they intend to develop pupils’ creativity and research spirit

b) Written tests either for moving up to the next grade (from A to B or from B to C) or for acquiring the school leaving certificate (grade C).
Written promotion school-based exams are held in all subjects with the exception of research projects and physical education. Students of all classes within the same school are tested in the same questions. The exams are corrected by the respective teachers. In graduation exams regarding grade C, the subjects are divided in two categories:
In subjects tested at school unit level; the tests are drawn up with the cooperation of the teachers instructing the same subject in the same grade, are common for all classes of the same grade and are approved by the school Headmaster.
In subjects tested at a national level (Pan-Hellenic exams); the tests are drawn up by the Central Examinations Committee set up for that purpose and they are common for all upper secondary school graduates throughout the country. The exams in the subjects in question take place at the same time in all Upper Secondary Schools of the country.
Students attending the last year of the Day General Upper Secondary Schools can acquire a High School Diploma/Certificate without participating in the Pan-Hellenic exams conducted in the year of their graduation and can take the required written exams in all subjects included in the curriculum of the last year of Upper Secondary School in their schools. The topics of the exams are decided upon by their school’s Teachers’ Assembly.
A pupil’s annual performance mark in every subject, tested in writing, either at school unit level or at a national level, results from the average of the annual mark for oral and written tests.
