Despite the deep economic recession that Greece is suffering from, many Greek families provide their children with extra lessons alongside the State education.
It is estimated that around 65 percent of low-income families with less than 500 euros per month and who live in conditions of poverty, send their children to extra lessons.
The survey was carried out by PALMOS ANALYSIS on behalf of the owners of Greek supplementary educational establishments.
The findings were astonishing.
– Four out of five high school students (80 percent) attend extra lessons.
– An estimated 47 percent of families cannot afford extra lessons.
– One in three students who during senior high school do not attend extra lessons, will not participate in the Panhellenic national examinations, usually from lower social classes.
