The Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Mrs Athina Michaelidou, chose to meet with the most direct recipients of the implementation of the policies of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth, pupils and students, before her meetings with the other stakeholders. The Minister had separate meetings today with the Secretariat of the Pancyprian Students' Coordination Committee (PSCC) and the leadership of the Pancyprian Federation of Student Unions (PofEN).
During the meetings, there was an exchange of views and suggestions on issues of concern to our students. During the meeting with the WFEM Secretariat, issues such as student assessment, support for needy students, building infrastructure in schools and psycho-educational support for students were discussed. During the meeting with the representatives of PAFEN, there was an exchange of views on the issues of student sponsorship, internships, the phenomena of racist behaviour in higher institutions and the increased costs of students. Michaelidou stressed to the student representatives that their views are not only useful and constructive, but also necessary for the formulation of policies and reforms implemented by the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth. She also informed them that she is seeking to establish regular meetings with them, with the aim of consultation, exchange of views and constructive dialogue, for the benefit of our educational system and the society of our country in general.
