In relation to publications and articles that have seen the light of day, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth (MESY) provides an extract from the "Private Schools Law of 2019":
Article 11.-(1) A private school may be of the same/same, similar or different type as public schools.
(2) A private school of the same/similar type as a public school is a school in which the main language of instruction is Greek and which follows the existing type of public schools (the timetable, the curriculum and the curricula of all subjects by cycle of study, the implementation of the curricula, participation in the Pancyprian and other examinations of the Ministry).
[3] A Greek-speaking private school of a similar type to a public school is a school in which the main language of instruction is Greek and in which the pupils are taught: for the cycle of study of the Lyceum or Technical School, all the subjects included in the common core of public schools at least two thirds of the subjects included in the Analytical Programme, the Timetable and the Curricula (of the three years of study) provided for public schools, and at least two-thirds of the total number of subjects (compulsory and optional) in the curriculum, timetable and programmes of study provided for public schools in the relevant cycle.
[4] An all-language private school of a similar type to a public school is a school in which the main language of instruction is a language other than Greek and in which the pupils will be taught: for the cycle of study of the Lyceum or Technical School, all the subjects included in the common core of the public schools at least two thirds of the subjects included in the common core of the public schools as far as the curriculum is concerned, the timetable and curricula (three years of study for six-year schools or four years of study for seven-year schools) provided for public schools, as well as the total number of subjects (compulsory and elective) at least two-thirds of which relate to the total curriculum provided for public schools in the given cycle of study.
[5] A private school of a different type from a public school is a school which does not fall under any of the types of subsections (2), (3) and (4) and which follows the curriculum, timetable and syllabus in accordance with the educational system of another country. With regard to the admission of graduates of any type of school to universities abroad, this is done through international examinations.
Specific cases where private schools make advertisements about assessment procedures in public schools are examined by the Ministry of Education and Science.
