Without offices and technical support for the Parents' Associations, the new "innovations" of the technical services of the Ministry of Education

This is what we learned from a report by the journalist of Phileleftheros, Christina Kyriakidou, on Sunday, May 6, 2012. And we read this with surprise because in a recent meeting held by the Pancyprian Confederation of Parents' Associations of Public and Community Ministers with Government. Demosthenes and after we made a request for housing of the Federations of Parents' Associations, the Chief Minister was positive.

We wonder how and why the technical services are now degrading the Organized Parents who for us are one of the main pillars of education. Do some people understand the role that Organized Parents have to play in the best and highest quality education? Do some people realize that until children reach the hands of teachers, parents also have the role of teacher in today's modern differentiated environment? Do some people realize that by the time they reach the school steps, the children have already formed at least half of their character? Do some people realize and realize that the close cooperation of the Organized Parents with the Teachers is a basic condition for upgrading our education?

Let all of them realize that organized parents in the new modern education are not a supplement or something additional to education but a part of education that without them would not be done properly. Organized parents in modern education are not just for baking skewers on Swan Thursday, nor just lotteries and collectors. Modern education requires parents to be in the classrooms with experiential workshops, exchanging views and suggestions with teachers, but above all with SUPERVISION.
