A total of 1,085 students have applied for this year’s revision classes which started this morning.
They will attend a total of 1,996 classes, since a considerable number applied for more than one subject, the government said.
1,012 students will be attending the classes in two locations in Malta and 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 did not succeed in getting a five or better in the May examination session to have another go in the September one.
The measure, which was partly funded by the EU, was 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 did not.
