Abstract

This chapter discusses the structure of the secondary school system in Cyprus. Primary education constitutes the first stage of the official educational system and comprises a six-year cycle of study. Attendance of primary schools is compulsory and free of charge. Pupils of the last form are examined in all subjects of the curriculum except in music, physical education, and home economics.

The major purpose served by the examinations in secondary schools is the certification of school accomplishment. The whole system of examination in Cyprus is continually being reconsidered, for in Education nothing should remain static.
