A proposal for a law to abolish the ungrateful process of four months, which is a dead end, is undermined by everyone, is not adopted by anyone and the only victims are the children, is intended to be tabled next year by the Chairman of the Education Committee of the Parliament, Pavlos Mylonas, in collaboration with the other members of the Committee.

In statements after a visit to Evryviadio High School in Larnaca, the  Mr. Mylonas stated that "the Committee with the Larnaca MPs will promote the problems that have been reported to us during our visits to the various schools, mainly overpopulation". "We went to Vergina High School and High School and the situation is tragic" he said and noted that "the procedures for the construction of new school units must definitely be accelerated".

He added that "in the primary schools we visited we again found problems that need to be resolved and are again related to the building facilities. But with regard to the issue of overpopulation, the Parliament and the executive power, with the new government, must seriously consider in what ways we relieve the school units. "There is overcrowding in too many schools and there is a very serious problem" he said.

When asked about the issue of the Dianellio Technical School, Mr. Mylonas replied that "we were asked about our specific issue both in the Vergina schools we visited and in those in Aradippou, that is, for new schools because there is indeed a problem. At Aradippou High School there are 600 students, which is a huge problem of overcrowding and at least six more classes will be needed. to house the students.

He also mentioned that "we know that in order to build a school there is a process in the public sector that can take from five to eight years, so we have to find solutions before five, eight, or even ten years. The new government should devise an organizational chart, a strategy so that we have new school units, that is, to build schools, to give money.

Mr. Mylonas even raised the question "we prefer to build schools. than prisons» and called the authorities to answer it.

When asked about the issue of the four months, the President of the Education Committee replied that "after what is happening, there is no other solution, I intend to submit a proposal, I will take the initiative, at least to start the process of ending this ungrateful process of four months. It is a dead end, it is undermined by everyone, no one adopts it and the only victims are our children.

It is my obligation, he continued, "I feel it as an individual to submit a proposal for a law, in consultation with colleagues of course, to submit the proposal, in the spring with the new government». 

Meanwhile a symbolic event The Federation of Parents and Guardians Associations of Secondary and Technical Education of Larnaca held a protest about the problems in the schools of Larnaca and the four-month exams at noon during the visit of the Education Committee to Evriviadio High School.

The protestors held banners that read “Equal opportunities for all”, “No to turning the School into a tutoring school”, “No to mammoth schools”, “School is a place of joy and creativity”, “Overcrowding and unsuitable classrooms”. of teaching” and "Don't kill our children's creativity".

In his statements, Kostas Kosta, President of the Federation of Parents and Guardians of Secondary and Technical Education of Larnaca, stated that the protest event is taking place at the Evryviadio High School "which is essentially a construction site and presents problems for students to coexist with these projects".

However, he added, «the main issues we have raised in’ this protest is the four-month exams that suffocate our children in schools and create conditions of stress and paraeducation.

"We were pleased to hear that the President of the Education Committee of the Parliament, Pavlos Mylonas, recognized the problem during today's visit to the Aradippou High School and announced in front of the school that in March he will submit a proposal for a law to abolish the four-month exams," he said.

Essentially, said Mr. Costas, "this statement justifies all our own protests because we really want the evaluation of our children, we want things to be corrected but we do not want schools to be turned into tutoring centers, only some courses are taught selectively and all other courses to either be downgraded or curtailed.  The teacher's statement today that unfortunately they are running and cannot help the children to consolidate and understand the material is typical.

The second major issue, he continued, that exists in the schools of Larnaca is "the logistical infrastructure, since they face many problems, the main one being overpopulation".  "There are schools in the areas of Vergina, Aradippou, Livadia and Dromolaxia where there really are no other places available" he said and added that "classrooms are closed to do other things and technological or other courses are prevented from taking place in the actual classrooms".

Answering a related question, Mr. Kostas said that "overcrowded schools are the Vergina, Aradippou, Livadia and Drosia High Schools.  Basically, the biggest problem is found in the High Schools of Larnaca  as well as in a high school”.

Unfortunately, he said, “the cancellation of the construction of a new school on the site of the Dianellio Technical School has worsened the problem. Besides, today's confession of the Technical Services states that there is no planning in the next five years for the construction of any High School in Larnaca. concluded.

The Education Committee of the Parliament visited the Primary School of Aradippou V – Saints Auxentiou and Efstathiou, the Gymnasium and Lyceum of Vergina, the Gymnasium of Aradippou, the Primary School of Agios Georgios and the Evryviadeo Gymnasium.
