The father of a child attending a public school complains of racism on the part of the Republic towards children with special abilities. The father of the child spoke to "Mesimeri kai Kati" about the case of his son, which came to light from the newspaper "Phileleftheros".
The father complains that the Ministry of Education "stumbled upon special education". But they decided that behind the scenes. The liaison officer exerted pressure illegally and verbally on the Director to distribute the escort ", said Theofanis Andreou.
Mr. Andreou, narrating the case of his child, said that the first, oral information that his son's companion will share, came to them in August 2018.
"We told them not to think about doing it, but they are blackmailing the principal," complained the father of the 13-year-old. "They told her to 'lock the baby in the break with another baby in a classroom with a teacher.'"
"What is happening in Cyprus is not accidental. The State itself perpetuates racism against children with disabilities. "They wanted to share my child's companion with another child who has a delinquency," said Mr. Andreou.
Those who are in the Ministry of Education who are responsible for helping children with special needs, are those who come to school and say that "your child can not go to High School". My child, unfortunately for them, is much better after two surgeries.
"Illegally, verbally and behind the scenes, everything they build spoils it", said Mr. Andreou, who, in fact, expressed the intention to report the Republic of Cyprus to the UN for racism.
"I call on all parents to demand their guardian. It is their guaranteed right. "The Ministry of Education is illegal and operates racistly", concluded Mr. Andreou.
