Regarding statements made by AKEL on Friday 15 April 2022, I should note that this party, since 2017, when it was in the minority in the Parliament, has been incredibly persistent in its attempts to constantly obstruct the government's reform in the field of evaluation. Without hesitating to constantly create disruption in schools to satisfy its ideological obsessions. When will AKEL realise that with its insistence on levelling and the practice of populism it is damaging public schools?
Indeed, there seem to be two different political philosophies. On the one hand, a policy is proposed that seeks to enhance quality in public schools. And for there to be quality, values to be cultivated and meritocracy to be applied, there must be evaluation. On the other hand, there is AKEL's proposal for levelling. However, it is this same political philosophy of levelling and unadulterated populism, which was applied in various sectors when they governed, that led the country to bankruptcy.
And because seriousness and effort are indeed needed in education and because the aim is for children to learn in school and in life that "good things are hard won", we should keep away those who only know how to project unfinished populism. With its acquired speed of denial and nihilism, AKEL seems to be unable to either see or perceive proposals.
