The Ministry of Education and Science, taking into account the needs of society, has extended the Summer Public Schools Programme, both in terms of the number of schools and their opening hours (extension of opening hours until 16:00). In addition, for the third school year, during the operation of the THDs, the Greek language learning programme will continue to be offered to children with an immigrant biography. This year again, children of refugees from Ukraine will be able to participate in the above-mentioned program.
The program is offered free of charge to all children. Parents contribute financially only to cover the cost of feeding the children who have chosen to attend the afternoon zone of the TSS.
This year 58 schools will operate as TSS, including 37 Primary Schools and 21 Kindergartens, covering all five provinces of Cyprus, as well as the mountain communities. The period of operation of the TSS is from 26 June 2023 to 28 July 2023. In order to cover the needs for the operation of the CLS, teachers of primary, pre-primary and special education will be employed, while for the needs of special education children a number of school chaperones/assistants will be employed.
A very well-organised educational programme of creative activities, which are interwoven with the interests and different abilities and needs of the children, is applied in the CLS. The Comprehensive Curriculum of the SSCs includes creative activities, such as: Visual Expression, Music, Theatre, Physical Education, Life Education with themes related to the summer period, indoor and outdoor games, Puppetry, Literature/Library, etc.
For further information or clarification, interested parents/guardians can contact the school their child attends.
