He noted that we need to invest in the modernisation of education, something that the President of the Republic sets as a top priority.
He noted that we need to invest in the modernisation of education, something that the President of the Republic sets as a top priority. He also pointed out that "there cannot and should not be colourism or segregation, a broader consensus of all powers and organisations is needed to make the education system one of the most modern systems again."
Letybiotis noted that a major national dialogue will be launched to make a holistic long-term plan for the modernisation of education feasible.
He added that the President will also study the annual report of activities delivered to him today, and in response to a question, he said that the wide-ranging meeting is timed close to September.
To a journalist's remark that student performance is low and the education system is low internationally, the Spokesman said: "We have very high performing students, at the same time there are weaknesses identified that need to be addressed in order for our education system to be linked to the labour market."
