The Parliament approved the abolition of the Independent Agency for Social Support and the transfer of its responsibilities to the Cyprus State Scholarships Foundation. The proposal by AKEL was approved, while the government bills were rejected. These changes aim to improve social support and public resource management. The new regulation provides for the utilization of the Agency's assets for the education of young people. This decision is expected to contribute to transparency and good governance.
