This year, over 155,000 students have applied for admission to high schools and multi-year gymnasiums in Czechia, with significant competition for places. Among these applicants, 25,000 are vying for four-year gymnasiums, 19,000 for eight-year gymnasiums, and almost 7,000 for six-year gymnasiums. However, the capacity for these schools is vastly insufficient, with only 17,496 places available for the four-year gymnasiums, which includes private institutions, 9,164 for the eight-year gymnasiums, and just 2,427 for the six-year options.
