Just above base 10! Greek students get this grade. At the peak of their school journey, the National Examinations, where they strive to achieve their best and the grading is strict and unchanging, they have an average of 11.5!

The data presented by “K” today are revealingnot only because they outline an average student of a mediocre level, but also because they demonstrate a structural problem of the Greek school: the absence of a meaningful evaluation with responsibility and of the parents, who “hunt for grades” in favor of their children.

In particular, from the processing by the mathematician-analyst Stratos Stratigakis of the latest available data for 2022, it appears that the average performance of the candidates per scientific field ranges from 10.45 to 12.03. Specifically, for the candidates of the 1st scientific field (social and humanitarian studies: law, philology, pedagogy, etc.) the average is 11.35 and for those of the 2nd field (positive and technological studies: polytechnics, departments of physics, mathematics etc.) 11.87.
