The Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth (MESY) recognises the right of every worker to participate in any measures to defend labour issues. However, it regrets the disruption that may be caused by the measures announced.
With regard to the work stoppage planned for tomorrow, Thursday 26 January 2023, between the hours of 12:00-15:00, which has been announced by the trade unions, the Ministry of National Education has forwarded relevant instructions to primary schools to ensure both the information of affected parents/guardians and the safety of children during the work stoppage.
Specifically, in accordance with the instructions given, all appropriate safety measures will be taken. It should be noted that, according to an announcement by the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works, buses transporting students will be at the schools at 11:30 a.m. for the return trips. No services will be operated between the hours of 12:00-15:00. At the end of the measures (after 15:00), the predetermined routes related to the transportation of students, such as Optional and Single Day Schools, will be operated normally.
(c) During the operation of Optional and Single Day Schools, given that after investigation by the management of each school, they will operate.
2. In the event that it becomes necessary to withdraw a child/children (e.g. due to a work stoppage of school assistants/attendants, drivers, etc.), the affected parents/guardians will be informed as of today to vary the time of transportation of the child/children or to pick them up from school.
3. For Community Kindergartens, both owners/operators and parents/guardians will be notified as of today of the intentions of their staff and the arrangements that will be made regarding the children.
