Grading systems by country

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

Greek students enrolling at private branches of foreign universities founded in Greece will be required to go through the local nationwide university entrance exams and meet some minimum requirements in order to be offered a place, Education Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis said on Wednesday while unveiling draft legislation allowing the establishment of private universities in the country.

The Senate of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) has decided to hold exams online as numerous faculties are currently occupied by students protesting government plans to facilitate the establishment of private universities.

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.

More than one in four secondary school pupils is an A student. At least in theory.

The threshold of excellence, 18 out of 20 in the scale in use in Greek high schools, was attained by 179,580 students out of a total of 680,000 last academic year, Education Ministry data show.

Nine percent of high school students in the country prefer to continue their education through distance learning, where they do not physically attend school and carry out all exams and learning processes remotely as this preference has increased in recent years, local media has reported.

Minimum admission scores for Greek universities were announced Thursday, allowing 61,950 out of the 97,205 who applied to secure a place.

While grading essays for his world religions course last month, Antony Aumann, a professor of philosophy at Northern Michigan University, read what he said was easily "the best paper in the class." It explored the morality of burqa bans with clean paragraphs, fitting examples and rigorous arguments.

A red flag instantly went up.
