The Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Ms Athena Michaelidou, met today at the Ministry with the President and members of the PDOED Secretariat, as part of the meetings she is holding these days with key partners and stakeholders in education.
During the meeting, there was an initial discussion and exchange of views on various issues that are priorities for the PDOED, including school staffing, the evaluation of students in primary education, the extension of free compulsory pre-primary education and the evaluation of the educational work and teachers.
Michailidou told the teachers' representatives that the guiding principle of any decisions should be the pedagogical support of pupils and the empowerment of teachers. The daily experience of teachers in schools, the Education Minister added, as well as their suggestions are particularly useful in shaping the policies adopted by the Ministry. Through dialogue, she noted, both with teachers and with all our stakeholders and partners in education, the best possible solutions can be found for the benefit of our students. Michailidou pointed out that her aim is to institutionalize these meetings with educational organizations, which are irrevocably one of the Ministry's key partners in all efforts to upgrade the education provided and improve learning outcomes.
