Following a request addressed yesterday, on the occasion of the Feast of the Three Hierarchs and the Day of Letters, by His Beatitude Archbishop of New Justinian and All Cyprus and his wish that his personal name day should cease to be a school holiday, in order to facilitate the work of education and save time for the operation of schools, the Minister of Education, Sport and Youth announces that he greatly appreciates this proposal and that the Ministry views it positively and will consider its implementation.
In particular, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth (MESY) intends to then activate the necessary procedures in order to make the necessary adjustments and to propose an amendment to the Regulations for the Operation of Schools.
On this occasion, the Ministry of Education and Science announces that it will also hold appropriate consultations in order to make the necessary arrangements and arrangements so that the Three Hierarchs' Day and the Feast of Letters are not a school holiday, but that the corresponding events for both the Three Hierarchs' Day and the Feast of Letters will take place in school and during school hours. To this end, the necessary consultations will be held and the relevant legislative proposal will also be prepared.
Because it is generally acknowledged that it would be more beneficial, instead of students staying at home or moving to other places on that day, to participate in appropriate events through the school both to inculcate the importance and value of Greek letters and to honour the work and contribution of the Three Hierarchs.
It is more appropriate for the school to honour the letters through its function than through a holiday.
