Apokoronas municipality wishes exam students strength as national exams begin

Summary

The municipality of Apokoronas has published a message of support to mark the start of the Panhellenic Exams — the national university entrance tests taken by school leavers across Greece. The message stresses that the exams are a significant milestone but do not define a young person's worth or future. Parents and teachers who have supported students through their studies are also acknowledged.

Apokoronas sends good wishes to students sitting the Panhellenic Exams

As the Panhellenic Exams begin — the national university entrance examinations that determine higher education places for Greek school leavers — the municipality of Apokoronas has issued a message of encouragement to all students in the area sitting the tests.

The municipality's message acknowledges that the exams represent a major moment in a young person's life, while also emphasising that they do not determine a student's personal value or the scope of their ambitions. Perseverance, effort and self-belief are highlighted as what ultimately matters.

The message also recognises the role of families and teachers, noting that the effort of the exam period is shared beyond the students themselves — parents and educators who have supported pupils throughout their schooling years are specifically mentioned.

The statement is purely one of encouragement and does not contain practical guidance on exam locations, timetables or procedures. Students seeking that information should contact their school or the relevant education authorities.

Note: This message represents the position of the Apokoronas municipal administration.

PRESS RELEASE – MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR OF APOKORONAS ON THE OCCASION OF THE START OF THE PANHELLENIC EXAMINATIONS

May 28, 2026, 7:19 AM

Dear children,

With the start of the Panhellenic Examinations, I want to wish you from the bottom of my heart strength and success. These exams are an important milestone in your life, but they determine neither your worth nor your dreams. What truly matters is the struggle, the effort, the perseverance and the belief in yourselves. I know well the toil, the anxiety and the sacrifices that you and your families have made all these years. Enter this trial, then, with a clear mind, composure and trust in your own strengths. Apokoronas is proud of all its children.

Best wishes for success to all students — male and female — and strength also to the parents and teachers who stood by your side throughout this great effort. With faith in your dreams and in the future you deserve.

The Mayor of Apokoronas

Charalampos Koukianakis
