Following the unfortunate incident and the malicious act of public dissemination of information about the 3rd grade Modern Greek test, the written assessment was conducted normally using the reserve test that was already available, after instructions were given to all schools. Specifically, schools were notified by text message at 10:42 a.m. that the examination, which had started at 10:30 a.m., had to be interrupted. The examination was held normally at 11:30am and 6,781 students in 63 schools participated in the examination.
However, since a number of 257 students, instead of participating in the examination, withdrew during the intervening period, taking into account the special circumstances created by the malicious action, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth Affairs decides by concession to treat them the same as the excused absentees and to give them the opportunity to participate in the examination during the prescribed second series on Tuesday, 31 January 2023, together with the 66 students who were excused absent.
At the same time, noting that the absences were actually recorded in only three out of a total of 63 schools, the Ministry will conduct an investigation to determine the circumstances under which the students withdrew instead of participating in the written examination.
