Concerns Over Potential Teacher Shortage in Cyprus
December 5, 2025
In Cyprus, the teaching profession is now a concern as the number of aspiring educators is declining. Despite previous ease of appointments and attractive salaries, fewer young people choose to pursue this career. The General Secretary of POED warns that a shortage of teachers is becoming evident, with current issues surrounding their replacement. Social challenges and an increase in students needing special education may worsen the situation. Without effective measures, the staffing of public schools will face serious challenges in the future.
