Continuation of the dispute ProdromouAKEL.
In a statement, the opposition party notes that "he is being shown the moon and the Minister of Education is looking at his finger... He does not listen to the outcry of students, teachers and parents about the failed institution of the four-month exams but blames AKEL, which has over the years pointed out the dangers of the exam-centred system and the pedagogical crime that this particular institution would bring about," it stresses.
He adds that AKEL had tabled a proposal for a law to abolish the four-month exams, which was voted down in the Plenum of the Parliament, and just before the summer this year it had again prepared a proposal for a law to abolish the four-month exams, which, unfortunately, was not supported by other political forces. "Now the issue has been brought back into the public debate by the admission of the chairman of the Parliament's Education Committee about the failure of the institution, but the Minister of Education blames the 'cacophonous monologue' of AKEL", he underlines.
He concludes by saying that if there is anything that constitutes a "cacophonous monologue" it is the failed policy of Minister Prodromos which is dressed up with the popular reform. "If they dare, let them ask parents, teachers and students their own opinion on the quarters. A view that the students had even expressed in a referendum which the Ministry, unlike the Commissioner for Children's Rights, did not recognize!"
