"Primary Education is the first stage of education and its main goal is to organize, provide and offer to all children - regardless of age, gender, country of origin, marital status, social background and intellectual abilities - such opportunities to develop balanced in the cognitive, emotional and psychomotor field. For this reason, the Directorate of Primary Education is constantly making every effort to continuously improve and upgrade Primary Education. At the same time, it aims at the modernization of teaching methods and approaches, the design and implementation of modern development programs, the increase of remedial teaching and special education programs, the expansion and construction of new schools and, in general, the creation of the infrastructure required for quality educational".
The above statements come from the website of the Ministry of Education and logically one would believe that the Ministry of Education is indeed working intensively in this direction. But is that really so?
On July 5, 2021, 42 parents whose children were in the DG Class of Frenaros Primary School in the school year 2020-21, sent a letter to the District Office of Famagusta, with a notification to the Directorate of Frenaros Primary School, to the General Director of Primary Education, to the Larnaca / Famagusta District Committee for Special Education and Training, to the Chairman and Members of the Parliamentary Education Committee, to the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of the Child and to the Educational Psychologist of the Larnaca / Famagusta District Office.
In the letter we informed the Ministry that his decision to reduce the three sections of the DG class to two for the new school year 2021-22 as our parents was strongly opposed as if the Ministry proceeded with this decision, it would be the second time that our children would be forced to change within four years school environment, classmates, friends creating irreparable damage to our children, both in learning and in social / psychological level.
Specifically in the letter we emphasized the following:
Why the title? Due to the answers we received from the people who received the letter until today 2/9/21, four days before the teachers return to the schools and the schools have already been staffed as mentioned by Mr. Minister:
In relation to the case you are referring to, the materially competent Authority that deals with issues related to the operation of schools is the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Youth, to which you have correctly addressed ". Answer with two very contradictory paragraphs είτε .either you intervene or not!
Eleven days before the children return to school and more NONE answer! The decision of the Ministry to change the structure of the departments of the 25th grade of Frenaros Primary School for the second time in four years (!) And their contraction into two departments with XNUMX+ people in the class does not seem to change. A Ministry that while it seems to set the bar high, in fact throws it to the point where "it picks up its pug". After all, a society with illiterate and uneducated children is something that perfectly serves the society and the State!
