Allegations of Exploitation in the Pan-Cyprian Exams
June 20, 2026
The allocation of an extra half-hour during the Pan-Cyprian Exams has led to serious allegations in Paphos. Many parents claim that certain families exploit this regulation to gain an unfair advantage through false medical certificates. This abuse is mainly occurring in high-demand subjects, such as medicine. The issue has been noted for the past five years without publicity, but now many are aware of specific cases. Some high schools have reported usage rates of up to 50% for the half-hour provision.
