October 23, 2024
European Parliament member Phidias Panagiotou addresses the low student turnout at the protest against the ban on mobile phones in schools, attributing it to threats from the Ministry of Education regarding unexcused absences. He emphasized the importance of supporting students rather than instilling fear. Despite the challenges, 70 students participated in the protest, which he viewed as a positive outcome. He encouraged students to contact him if they faced any consequences from school.
