The Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth (MESY) expresses its deepest sorrow for the loss of Panagiotis Persianis, Associate Professor of the University of Cyprus.
Panagiotis Persianis was born in the occupied village of Lysi, Famagusta in 1932. He studied Classical and Modern Greek Philology at the University of Athens, Pedagogy at the London University Institute of Education (MA and Ph.D.) and Educational Planning at Lancaster University.
He served with dedication and love the Education of our country from various positions in Public Education. He has been a teacher of literature, Director of Secondary Schools, Inspector, Director of the Cyprus Pedagogical Institute and Associate Professor at the Department of Education, University of Cyprus. From 2004 until the end of 2008 he was Vice-Chairman of the Interim Steering Committee of the CTEPAK.
His writings cover a wide range of educational, social and general cognitive issues. His writing has been continuous and invaluable because of the original approach he has taken to the issues he has dealt with. His work is a unique deposit of psychic and intellectual power. He authored 26 books, mainly of educational content, and published articles in Greek, English and American journals.
In 2005 he was awarded the State Prize for Literature and Arts and in 2007 the title of Honorary Doctorate by Middlesex University.
The Ministry of National Defence and Minister Athena Michaelidou herself express their sincere condolences to his family and friends.
