Greek education has a long and profound history. From Socrates and Plato to Aristotle and Archimedes, the outstanding education of Greece can be said to have laid the foundation for modern education worldwide. Below, we will introduce the advantages of Greek education to those interested in Greek immigration!
1. Profound historical heritage and excellent basic education. Greece is one of the countries that established an education system early on. It has a profound historical heritage and has made outstanding contributions to educational thought worldwide. Among these, Greek education places particular emphasis on basic education. Unlike the high academic pressure placed on children in China and the typical exam-oriented education, Greek basic education places more importance on children's independent thinking, leadership, logical reasoning, and especially moral education.
2. Dual-track education for career development and in-depth research. Greek education mainly follows two directions: one is vocational education that is determined according to social needs at any time, laying the foundation for children's future employment and career development; the other is research in pure theoretical fields such as science, philosophy, and mathematics. For students who enjoy research, there are sufficient and excellent resources to support their development.
3. Numerous branch campuses of prestigious British and American universities. As both an EU member state and a Schengen country, Greece's important geographical location in Europe has attracted many famous foreign universities to establish branch campuses there. For example, the University of Sheffield from the UK and the State University of New York from the US have branch campuses in Greece. In addition, some Greek schools cooperate with prestigious British universities, such as the University of Manchester, the University of Kent, and City, University of London, to provide higher-level education.
4. Strong faculty and lower tuition fees achieve high cost-effectiveness in Greek education. Greece mainly has two types of schools: public and private. Relatively speaking, private schools have richer educational resources, and the vast majority of teachers come from overseas and hold unified EU teaching qualifications. In addition, since Greek public schools teach in Greek, private schools are more suitable for clients who want their children to receive an English-language education. The preschool education fee for private schools is 2,000-3,000 Euros per academic year, 4,000-6,000 Euros per academic year for primary and middle schools, and 6,000-9,000 Euros per academic year for high schools. In comparison, tuition fees for private schools in the UK can easily exceed 10,000 pounds per year, and some can even reach over 30,000 pounds. Not to mention other expenses, tuition fees for private schools in the US alone cost 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars per year. Even the fees for private schools in Beijing reach 40,000-50,000 RMB per year. In contrast, the cost-effectiveness of Greek education is very high.
5. Greek academic qualifications are internationally recognized, and students can also choose to study in other EU countries or the US, enjoying EU student status. Greek academic qualifications are internationally recognized, and students can use their Greek transcripts to apply for better and higher-level institutions around the world for further studies. In addition, many private schools or branch campuses of various countries in Greece allow students to take A-level (exams recognized by all British-style universities) or SAT (US university exams) exams locally in Greece after graduation, and choose to go to other EU countries or the US for further studies. If choosing to study in other EU countries, children of clients holding a Greek residence permit can also enjoy EU student status (tuition fees for EU students are basically 50-70% of those for overseas students).
