Ms. Aristotelous praised the work of teachers, since their role in occupied Kormakitis is of paramount importance, stressing that "teachers are called upon not only to educate and educate children, but also to support them under difficult circumstances, and together with the children and their parents they teach lessons of patience, perseverance, self-denial, love and commitment to the roots and traditions of our country, while also promoting values such as cooperation, respect and social responsibility".
