Scientific paper

The teaching of Astronomy as a separate subject in the second grade of the upper high school in Greece, has more or less disappeared since the school reform of 1997. This applies even in the two Lyceums in Naousa, which have a good tradition in Astronomy teaching, where the number of pupils attending the subject has been diminished to 1/5 of the total amount of pupils. The main reason for this is the national character of the examinations a pupil has to take, in order to pass the grade. Astronomy has changed to an optional subject since the reform 1997, and the pupil chooses mainly a foreign language, computers or sketching in order to get higher grades to help him to advance. In order to keep the subject of Astronomy as a separate subject in both Lyceums of Naousa many activities take place, both in the schoolyard and in the open areas in the city. The use of the school telescope for observing the solar sunspots, the Venus transit and the planets was applied last school year for the pupils to choose Astronomy as a separate subject.
