Discussion on Teacher Evaluation in the Education Parliamentary Committee

October 20, 2025

The upcoming meeting of the Education Parliamentary Committee regarding the teacher evaluation plan is generating significant interest. The educational organizations, POED and OELMEK, have rejected the Ministry of Education's proposal. The Ministry's general director, George Panteli, observes that there has been no willingness from the organizations to engage in dialogue. The Ministry is proposing changes to the evaluation process and urges the organizations to participate. Disagreements persist over the director's role in evaluation and the grading scale.
