A total of 1,085 students have applied for this year’s Revision Classes which have started this morning. These students will attend a total of 1,996 classes, since a considerable number of students applied for more than one subject.

1,012 students will be attending the classes in two locations in Malta while a further 73 will attend the classes in Gozo. 

The breakdown by subject is as follows:

Maltese - 434

English - 553

Mathematics - 694

Physics - 315

Revision Classes form part of the Youth Guarantee initiative and aim to help students who didn’t succeed in getting a 5 or better in the May examination session have another go in the September one. The measure, which is partly funded by the EU, is now in its second year. Statistics published following the first year of Revision Classes had shown that students who took up the free-of-charge classes improved their grade in the September session when compared to those who didn’t.
