The Minister of Education, Sports and Youth, Mrs Athina Michaelidou, visited today the Second Primary School and the Second Kindergarten of Lakatameia, where Summer Public Schools operate.
After the visit, the Minister said in a statement to journalists: "I had the opportunity today to visit the Summer School at the Second Primary School and the Second Kindergarten of Lakatameia. It was an excellent experience. I have seen happy children, children who spend their July morning time constructively. They dedicate their time to creative work instead of staying at home.
The Summer Public Schools are a great institution offered for working parents, for parents who want their children to be in a safe environment, in a place where they are definitely creating.
At the same time, as the Ministry of Education we make sure that a specific program is followed in the Summer School, so that our children learn, continue learning, but also have a good time, i.e. have fun, make acquaintances, meet other children from different schools. We also have children with immigrant biographies and children with disabilities, so that the inclusive school can continue during the summer hours in July.
Thank you very much to the school staff, all the staff in general who work in the Summer Schools.
The Summer Public Schools are an institution that we are constantly evaluating and upgrading and through the discussion with the children some suggestions for improvements to the institution emerge and we will be able to make improvements for next year," the Minister of Education concluded.
Then the Minister of Education, in response to a journalist's question about the state of the Ministry's preparations in terms of logistical equipment and staffing of schools, said: "Staffing is very much advanced, beyond 90 per cent, so we are optimistic that in September we will not have any particular problems. If there are minor problems we will be able to cover them immediately."
On the building issues, I have stated many times that there is no way we can start the year and not have construction sites in some schools because it is an ongoing process. We have to be satisfied as long as all the safety measures for our children are met, because that is the primary thing, that is our main priority, the safety of our children. Having projects means that there is planning, improvements are being made. It's a dynamic process that doesn't end in one school year."
