"Fire" against the Ministry of Education, AKEL MP and Head of the Education Sector of the party's Central Committee, Christos Christofides, for the new proposals for changes in Lyceums and Technical Schools.
In particular, Mr. Christofides points out in his daily statements that "while there is already open the front of the four-month examinations, which is a real cancer for Cypriot education and a torture for thousands of students, parents and teachers, the Ministry of Education comes with new arbitrary, sketchy and without any scientific documentation proposals, to experiment again at the expense of children with new changes".
"Without any dialogue with the educational partners, the OELMEK, students and parents and without any consultation with the political forces of the country. In recent years, the institutionalised education council which is responsible for the dialogue between the educational partners and the political forces has not been functioning", notes Christofides.
He adds that "this behavior of the Ministry of Education again creates significant reactions among teachers, mines the field for the next period of time and we fear that instead of providing solutions to the very serious existing issues such as the fiasco with the four-month exams, many more fiascos will be created."
"We call once again on the Minister of Education to realize that he is dealing with a very serious portfolio and to have a dialogue, to ask for scientific support and to finally stop experimentation to the detriment of our children," he concludes.
