In relation to public statements about the cancellation of the expansion of pre-primary education, the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth simply reminds that pre-primary education from the age of four would already have been a reality if the bill that was submitted to the House of Representatives in the first place had been approved.
Problems existed because of clearly unconstitutional provisions added by certain parliamentary forces in the House.
It is also a fact that the planning made for the extension cannot proceed because of the refusal of the same political forces to accept the rejection of the unconstitutional law made by the President of the Republic on the basis of an opinion of the Legal Service.
With this refusal of the specific political forces in Parliament and their own fault, at the same time the possibility that had been secured for financing the transitional period for the extension from a European project with funds of 12.2 million euros was cancelled - after both some representatives of PDOED and AKEL disparagingly dismissed it as "vouchers".
