The Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth (MESY) held on Wednesday, 5 June 2024 at the Pedagogical Institute in Nicosia, the first of a series of trainings organized by the MESY in collaboration with the Institute of Educational Policy of Greece (IEP).
The training series aims to make use of the material created by the IEP of Greece on Special Education, which is available here. More detailed information on this material was provided in a previous circular (Ref. 03.08.002.003.004, dated 27/3/24), with the encouragement for its appropriate use as a means for differentiating teaching and education of students with disabilities and/or special educational needs.
The Training was attended by the Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Dr Athina Michaelidou, who referred to the importance of informing teachers, as differentiated teaching is a key priority of the Ministry and part of the effort for the transition from Special to Integrated Education and the formation of the inclusive school.

These sessions highlighted inclusive differentiated strategies and good practices, adapted to the needs of each audience.
