Awaiting the announcement of the scores at the end of June are the GEL candidates, after the completion of the exams last Wednesday. Along with them ratingsthe number of candidates who participated this year in National examswhich will give a clear picture of how the bases for admission to Higher Education schools and departments will move.

The lessons, which seemed to make it difficult for the candidates will be the “keys” for completing this year’s puzzle as well. “Regarding the overall performance picture, it is clear that the difficulty of Mathematics will definitely affect the 2nd Scientific Field (Positive Studies) and 4th (Economics and IT Studies)Giorgos Chatzitegas, educator and analyst, told APE-MBE.

He added that the performance in the Mathematics course combined with those in Physics “they will affect declining them fundamentals in the 2nd Scientific Field, in the high-ranking departments of the central Polytechnics”.

At the same time, as he estimated, the performance in the Physics course “will affect the bases in the high-ranking departments of 3rd scientific field of Health Studies, with an obvious imprint on Medical Schools».

As for the 1st Scientific Field, Humanities, Mr. Hatzitegas estimated that the lowest average performance will be observed for one more year in the History course, as “this year’s subjects were judged by the candidates to be quite challenging in this particular course”.

The “unknown X”

The number of candidates who participated in the All-Hellenic Competitions, as well as their distribution in scientific fields, are two key pieces that are still missing from the puzzle. In particular, it is expected to be of particular interest whether the movement of candidates from the 2nd to the 4th scientific field will continue, something that has been strongly observed in the past years.

“The largest Scientific Field of Positive Studies with 247 departments, i.e. more than half of all Tertiary Education departments, now has the fewest candidates”, added Mr. Hatzitegas.

Towards the end of June the ratings

The announcement of the grades, which will probably be accompanied by the official statistics of the 2024 National Examinations, is expected to take place in the last days of June.

Then, the process of filling out the Computerized Forms is expected to be completed in the first fortnight of July, so that by the end of July, the bases for admission to Higher Education have been announced.
