Students get university exam results on their cellphones
For the first time, nearly all candidates for the Greek universities were notified of their examination results through their cellphones, the Education & Religion Ministry said in a statement on Friday.
Results of the national entrance exams (panellinies) are usually posted at schools and online at the ministry's site, results.it.minedu.gov.gr. This year, most students - 73,273 students out of 92,020 - received the results directly on their cellphones 5 minutes after they were posted online.
"We continue our excellent collaboration with the e-Governance Ministry in the speedy digitization of education, while also developing digital skills in the entire educational community," Minister Niki Kerameus said.
In a social media post earlier in the day, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis hailed the event and said "the digital transformation of education in Greece is continuing, with the state standing by students and their families, providing immediate information at a significant point in their lives."
