b) The principal establishes an assessment and advisory council, consisting of representatives from the school's leadership and the school's parent representative board, and the teachers from the grade the student is attending.

c) Based on the assessment results of the council, the principal considers and decides.

a) Parents or guardians submit a request to the school.

b) The principal organizes an assessment of the student’s level and arranges for them to enter an appropriate class.

Typically, the age to enter grade 10 of upper secondary education is 15 years, calculated according to the year.

Students who are 15 years old now will enter grade 10 in the 2024-2025 school year.
