Following reports in the media - which followed the meeting of the ad hoc Parliamentary Committee for the Study of the Demographic Problem - about an alleged incident involving a foreign student in a school in the Nicosia district, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth (MESY) informs that the matter relates to an incident reported last December. The school followed all the necessary procedures and the Ministry of Education and Culture ensured that the matter was dealt with by the Police. The police investigation revealed that there was no incident of threat or intent to use violence or a weapon and that the whole incident was due to misinformation. Moreover, the report made at the time was not related to the neighbouring migrant shelter.
Therefore, such false news should neither be reproduced by the media nor commented on.
