It is, he said, "an area that we did not discover this year, with the chairmanship of the committee, but an area fundamental, not only for the proper functioning of the state, but for the survival of Cypriot Hellenism and its identity."According to him, it is essential that at some point, when we stop dwelling on the obvious, for example whether the Department of Antiquities should be placed under the Deputy Ministry of Culture. "If possible," he said.At some point, he added, we need to discuss a comprehensive education plan and not just plug the holes in a slowly dying body."We need to start talking about all the problems of education as a whole so that the groundwork can be laid for a regulatory plan that does not allow for crumbling buildings or students to be crammed into warehouse classrooms, loose rooms or containers," he said.We need, he said, "to focus, along with the organized bodies of teachers, parents, along with intellectuals, academics and anyone who can help, on education as a whole, not just changing the batteries in the respirator."</BB-8We need, he noted, "to understand that the multitude does not become a society and a people in party schools, youth groups and cafes, but through a national education capable of laying the foundations for our cultural renaissance, for the defence of democracy, for the protection of human rights, the environment, children, our homeland, our institutions and the state itself."
