The Scientific Research Centre of the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth organizes a scientific conference on "Aspects of the History of Greek Cypriot Education, 1800-present". The conference is taking place within the framework of the research project being carried out at the Centre for Scientific Research in order to establish the Archive of the History of Greek Cypriot Education (AIEKE).
The organizing committee of the conference considers that 2023 is an ideal year for the organization of such a scientific event, as it is 130 years since the foundation of the first secondary school in Cyprus, the Pancyprian Gymnasium, in Nicosia. The timing offers the opportunity for the presentation of new research data concerning the history of Greek Cypriot education. It is, after all, a fact that the bibliography of this scientific subject has been significantly enriched in recent years. Therefore, the organization of the conference will offer the opportunity to present new research data concerning the history of Cypriot education from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day.
The conference will take place over two days 5 and 6 May 2023 in Nicosia, at the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation, and will be attended by academics, researchers and educators who will present the findings of their research on a wide range of topics related to the history of Greek Cypriot education. During the proceedings of the conference, papers will be presented, inter alia, on education in the 19th century, sources and methodological issues concerning the history of education, issues of politics and education, gender and education during British colonialism, as well as issues concerning educational reforms since the establishment of the Republic of Cyprus. The papers will cover the period from the early 19th century to the present day and will deal with the history of Pre-Primary, Primary, Secondary and Technical Education.
The Organizing Committee of the Conference consists of: Dr. Kyprianos Louis (Director of Secondary General Education, Deputy Director of the Centre for Scientific Research), Dr. Konstantinos Georgiou (Educational Researcher, Centre for Scientific Research), Dr. Anastasia Giangou (Educational Historian) and Dr. Popi Theofanous (Educationalist-Officer of the Office of the Director of Secondary General Education).
