of a Greek student’s routine.

students. So, to cover their needs or to fill the
educational void, students (especially in high school) ,
hire teachers (that don’t work in schools) or go to
tutorial schools. These lessons are taking part in the
afternoon.

the General and Vocational High School. It was applied to the
same classes again, for the exams of the school year 2021-
2022. According to Law the Subject.
• Bank has the role of drawing 50% of the subjects in the High
School exams for all subjects that are examined in writing.
