Following the Parents' Association of Laniteion High School, the Parents' Association of Apostolos Peter and Paul High School, in Limassol, is requesting the intervention of the Minister of Education on the curriculum, asking for the cancellation of the semesters for seniors and warning of strong measures after December 5.
In its letter to the Minister of Education, the Parents' Association says that students, seniors are facing problems with the increased syllabus, the pilot program for the introduction of French in the second and third grades and what it claims is a lack of communication and agreement between examiners.
The Association notes that the curriculum has been reduced due to the implementation of four semesters, and due to the fact that seniors are the pandemic generation and reduced attendance, gaps have been created.
Saying that it is fully in agreement with the implementation of the four-months as well as the introduction of French up to the third grade, the association stresses that these cannot be done "in an amateurish way, without proper planning and to the detriment of the subjects being studied".
"What we are witnessing is not the implementation of an institution for the good of education, but a truncation of our children's potential," the organized parents add, and ask the Ministry of Education and Science to "immediately instruct the relevant officials to drastically reduce the syllabus and cancel quarters for seniors to give the Service the opportunity to harmonize and resolve these oddities."
As in the case of the Parents' Association of Lanitei High School, the Parents' Association of Apostles Peter and Paul High School is giving a deadline of Monday, December 5 for the demands to be met, failing which it warns of taking strong action.
