COMMENTARY     

Kostas K
4th August 2011 		Regarding Greece, there is no mention of the weeks lost due to teachers' strikes or/and teahcing hours lost due to absence of teachers in many schools.
Ian Graham
Staff Editor
16th March 2005 		Is there a link between the length of the primary school year and the level of educational attainment?

Of the 25 countries with the highest average number of weeks of primary school instruction, there are eight – New Zealand, Greece, Brazil, Switzerland, Finland, Iceland, Denmark and Germany – that are also in the top 25 for students progressing to secondary level, all of which have progression rates in excess of 99 percent. Of these, Finland, New Zealand, Denmark, Switzerland and Germany are in the top 18 for the percentage of adults educated until the tertiary level.

The top four countries for percentage of adults with tertiary education – Canada, United States, Ireland and Japan – are not in the top 25 for hours of primary instruction. Japan is the only of the four in the top 25 for progression to secondary level.
