The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth is dealing with a number of worrying incidents in schools, such as the recent entry of extra-curricular agents and the allegation of sexual harassment during class time at a high school in the Nicosia district, which was also debated in Parliament, the assault and physical violence by a parent against a school principal in Famagusta province because of his reaction to mandatory pandemic protection measures, the recent attacks using firecrackers in a high school in Larnaca province, as well as several other cases of disruption of the normal operation of schools.
At the same time, especially during this period, at the end of the school year, a number of complaints and grievances about the school from parents whose children are having problems with promotion due to an excessive number of absences and which often turn out to be unfounded. At the same time, as every year, issues arise, especially at the end of the school year, regarding the implementation of existing regulations concerning the behaviour and appearance of pupils.
For this reason, and in order to examine issues of behaviour, order and the proper functioning of schools, the Minister has convened a meeting, which will be held tomorrow, with the Association of Secondary Education Directors and with the participation of the Directorates of Secondary General and Secondary Technical Education.
