Challenges at the Start of the School Year
September 7, 2026
The new school year begins with challenges for the educational system, primarily focused on two key issues: the teacher recruitment system and formative assessment. Educational organizations express concerns about the recruitment system and are awaiting clarifications from the Ministry of Education. POED President Myria Vasiliou warned of strong reactions if teachers are victimized. Despite the objections, the Ministry insists on implementing formative assessment, despite potential problems. Decisions need to be made soon, as time is running out.
