The Commissioner for Administration and Protection of Human Rights finds that children with disabilities were discriminated against "due to the refusal to provide them with the necessary reasonable adjustments by varying the test of the Pancyprian Access Examinations", Maria Stylianou Lottidi, in a report concerning a specific case of discrimination on the grounds of disability, which arose due to the refusal to provide reasonable adjustments to a student with a disability during the examinations.

In her report, which is being made public, the Commissioner notes that children with disabilities attending the Pancyprian Access Examinations "are required to take a common/standardised test, with the consequence that they are discriminated against in terms of access to education on the basis of their disability, in violation of Article 6
