The Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Mrs Athina Michaelides, held a meeting today at the Pafos District Office with the Directors of Primary Education schools in the Pafos district, as part of the dialogue she initiated with the schools.
After the meeting, the Minister in her statements to journalists said: "We visited Paphos today.
It is a visit aimed at seeing our education officials, the heads of primary schools, in this case, in order to hear, first-hand, issues, challenges and suggestions for improving our education system.
We all know how important the role of the leader of the school unit is.
We all know how important the role of the leader of the school unit is. We also know that he or she is the first to implement our policies and also to take issues, suggestions and opinions from the grassroots to the Ministry of Education. Therefore, it is very important for us to have a dialogue with the grassroots, an honest discussion with our people.
We will institutionalize this dialogue, as I have already said. We started with secondary education. I have already seen all the principals of secondary schools and we are continuing with Primary Education, starting from Paphos.
There are many issues facing our schools, but the priorities that we have set, based on the President's Governance Programme, are also very important, so that from the beginning of the new school year we can see concrete changes in our schools for the benefit of our students."
