In Ireland its still theoretically an option (as in there is an end-of-school exam one can take in the subject) however its only available in a tiny handful of schools nowadays.
It was more widespread in the first half of the last century.
This is just plain wrong on Finlands part. I'm a native, and I have NEVER heard of ancient (or modern) greek as taught at all or even as an elective. Few niche university programs in a couple of uni's do offer that though, but in elementary or secondary school... Just plain untrue.
That doesn't mean a whole lot. If one school in the country offers an elective, is the country highlighted? Certainly we didn't have widespread classes in ancient anything.

So everywhere except for Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and where there's no data.
Also a bad choice to put no data and no on the same color.

this is simply wrong, probably for all countries besides Greece itself. I never had it in school and I never heard of such a thing.

I'm guessing that this just means that there's at least a single school willing to teach it, it certainly isn't all of them.
