Biologists go on a two-hour strike tomorrow Tuesday - Why are they on strike

Tomorrow, Tuesday 7/12/2021, the Biology teachers of the Secondary Schools, go on a two-hour work stoppage (3rd and 4th period), for a clearly pedagogical request, which concerns our students and the appropriate teaching of the course.

According to an announcement by the Cyprus Biologists Association:

"We are on strike because:

• Biology must be taught by experiment, not just theory
• Europe teaches Biology in a laboratory
• While the ministry's curriculum provides for experiments,

the Ministry itself does not allow them to take place

• In our laboratories, instruments and materials are useless due to their non-use
• Biology is the only non-laboratory science course

The Ministry of Education:

• Challenges the positive opinion of the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of the Child
• Challenges the positions of university professors who agree with the laboratoryization

At our side we have:

• Organized parents
• Organized students
• Many branches of teachers
• University professors of Biology who agree with the laboratory

We will fight until the end:

• For the laboratoryization of the Biology course
• Why we can not remain inactive, unless the lesson of Biology is taught experimentally
• Because our students do not acquire the necessary laboratory skills that are necessary for their studies

The events will take place on Tuesday 7-12-2021, time 9.45 am, outside the following provincial schools.

Support the laboratoryization of the Biology course! "
