The Greek educational system consists of primary education from ages 6-12, lower secondary education or gymnasium from ages 12-15, and post-compulsory upper secondary education from ages 15-18 which can be either general lyceum or vocational lyceum. Students can then pursue tertiary education such as universities, polytechnics, or academies starting at age 18.

Editor's Notes
- The Greek educational system is mainly divided into three levels, primary, secondary and tertiary, with an additional post-secondary level providing vocational training.
- Formal education starts at the age of 4 with the Pre-K class which is non-compulsory while compulsory primary education starts at the age of 5 with the kindergarten class.
- The primary school lasts six years, from ages 6 to 12. The secondary education comprises two stages: Gymnasium (variously translated as Middle or Junior High School), a compulsory three-year school. There are different types of Gymnasium, the church Gymnasium, the Musical Gymnasium – to enter this type of school students must pass certain exams on a musical instrument, the Art Gymnasium where there are some special exams on art, dance or drama. And there is also the Experimental Gymnasium, to enter this type of school the students must pass certain exams on Maths, Science, Reading Comprehension and Writing. After attending the lessons in Gymnasium the students can attend …
- Lyceum or Vocational training. There are two types of Lyceum, one providing general education and one providing vocational education. Both of them are academically oriented high schools.
- The General Lyceum – but also the Vocational one - lasts three years, from ages 15 to 18. Class 1 of the Lyceum includes general knowledge subjects, which constitute a common core for all pupils. During Class 2 the pupils must choose one of the following orientations: theoretical orientation or practical orientation. In Class 3 there are orientation lessons. In parallel, pupils in Classes 2 and 3 attend core classes. Elective subjects are provided to all the classes.
- The subjects in the Vocational Lyceum are subdivided into specific Specializations [Cycle 1 and Cycle 2]. The School Laboratory Centres (SEK) provide vocational training but don’t provide access to the Tertiary Education.
- At the end of all three Classes the pupils take examinations both at school and national level with a view to moving on to the next Class and to obtaining the Lyceum Leaving Certificate which give them also the opportunity to admission to a University department or a Higher Technological Institution.
- Tertiary education: also referred as post-secondary education, includes universities as well as higher technological institutions, polytechnics, the academies for the military and the clergy. Undergraduate courses typically last 4 years (5 in polytechnics and some technical/art schools, and 6 in medical schools), postgraduate courses last from 1 to 6 years. We have to mention also the Hellenic Open University, a multi-school university run by the Greek State, based in Patras and providing distance education at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. International Hellenic University: The first Greek public university offering post-graduate studies only. All programs are taught exclusively in English and operates on a rolling admission basis. This means that candidates apply for and are admitted to the programs all year round.
