Mr. Hatzigiannis after a visit of the Education Committee to Paralimni High School which studied on the spot the existing problems and then attended a session at the Municipal Palace of Paralimni. As Mr. Hatzigiannis stated, “today we visited and saw the problems of Paralimni High School, a school that is facing a problem of overcrowding, transitional during the reconstruction and problems that have arisen due to the recent tornado, resulting in an emergency situation for the school. The necessary solutions must be given, but the burning issue is that in Paralimni there is an urgent need to create a new additional High School ".
He added that "we can not talk about a population of 700 students in a school, this is unthinkable and we can not combine High School with High School. We have overcome these as an educational system, we have decided on them for decades, the Lyceums and the Gymnasiums operate separately and the exception cannot come here and unify the two cycles of Secondary Education ".
Answering a relevant question, Mr. Hatzigiannis said that “today we heard interim solutions from the Ministry. The solution proposed by the Ministry was rejected and we insist that a second High School should be created ".
Asked whether the Education Committee is satisfied with the proposals of the Ministry of Education, he replied “in no case are they satisfied with proposals that no longer lead to the creation of a new school. Additional time will be given 3-4 weeks for the Ministry to study the new proposals that are put on the table ". At the same time, Mr. Hatzigiannis called on "the Ministry, the Administration to be concerned and the government to come to the aid now and to study very seriously with a political proposal, the establishment of a new Paralimni High School".
In closing, Mr. Hatzigiannis stated that “it is the responsibility of the Parliament to create those conditions for a proper dialogue to resolve this problem. We believe that the only end is the creation of a new High School, dogmatically we now see it both in terms of education and in terms of population trend, we see that there is no other option ".
