The Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth expresses its deep sorrow for the death of the teacher Takis Gavriilides. Takis Gavriilides worked as a physics teacher at various high schools and, in particular, at the Lanitio Gymnasium. He retired from his position as a high school principal. He was President of the Union of Secondary Education Teachers' Trade Union (OELMEK) and Vice President of the Union of Cypriot Physicists, Organising Secretary of the Cyprus Centre for Studies (CYCEM) and the Institute of Administrative Sciences, and was elected for three consecutive terms by the Senate of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) to the Council of the University. He was also very active in the political arena.
Takis Gavriilides was an important figure in the educational and political world of Cyprus. Beloved by all, a worthy educator, he shaped thousands of young people and left an important legacy for the country's education. One of the most intense and active figures of our country, he passed on his knowledge and advice to friends and acquaintances with immense love and selflessness. Until the last moment of his life he was interested in the progress and prosperity of his country, in education and politics. His multifaceted and long-lasting activity, his continuous and substantial action in the political, social and educational events of Cyprus place him among the important personalities of education and Cyprus in general.
Cyprus loses a worthy educator and a worthy citizen.
Cyprus loses a worthy educator and a worthy citizen. As the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth we express our sincere condolences to the family and relatives of the late Takis Gavriilides.
