Private School Denies Support for Child with Needs
February 25, 2026
A private school in Limassol refused to allow a school assistant for a child who needs help for his schooling. Despite the mother's willingness to cover the cost of the assistant, the school remained indifferent, citing internal regulations. The child, who had been enrolled in the school since a young age, was forced to transfer to a public school to complete the school year. The Commissioner for the Protection of Children's Rights has taken up the issue and suggested corrective measures to the Ministry of Education. This situation raises concerns regarding access to education for individuals with disabilities.
