The Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Mrs Athena Michaelidou, had a meeting with the Ambassador of Israel to Cyprus, Mr Oren Anolik, at the Ministry on Monday, 27 March 2023, on the occasion of her assumption of office.
During the meeting, which took place in a very good atmosphere, issues of mutual interest were discussed, with emphasis on the existing bilateral cooperation and efforts to deepen it through joint actions, synergies and activities.
Specifically, the issue of the Cooperation Programme in the fields of Education, Science, Culture, Youth and Sports between the Republic of Cyprus and Israel, which is in the final phase of its renewal for the period 2023-2025, was discussed. Ms Michailidou and Mr Anolik agreed that this Programme will be signed in the near future, subject to the finalisation of some final points on the text. The two sides also discussed the ongoing process of renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth and Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Centre in Jerusalem. In this context, reference was made to the successful activities carried out in schools on the subject of the Holocaust.
Finally, the Minister and the Ambassador agreed that bilateral cooperation between Cyprus and Israel should be further developed in the form of exchange of information, good practices and experts on issues such as school leadership, improvement of learning outcomes, artificial intelligence, innovation, maritime education and education for the environment and sustainable development.
