Issues with Recognition of Military Service for Teachers in Cyprus
December 13, 2025
There is an issue concerning the recognition of military service for teachers from other European countries in Cyprus being discussed by the Ministry of Education and the Educational Services Commission. A Greek teacher is stuck in the position of assistant principal due to the lack of recognition of his military service. His case has been suggested for recognition in accordance with laws applicable in Cyprus and European law. Lawmakers from the education committee are monitoring the situation, awaiting actions for its resolution. However, there is currently no clear process for addressing this issue.
