A delegation of parents and guardians of children attending private schools presented on Wednesday the Minister of Education, Sports and Youth Prodromos Prodromos and the President of the Education Committee of the Parliament  Pavlos Mylonas  memorandum with a request to allow Public Universities to offer places to students with international access qualifications without depriving a single place from graduates of Public Schools.

As stated in a press release by Pancypriot Federation of Associations of Parents and Guardians of Private Schools, the content of the memorandum was also posted on the internet with the aim of being supported through electronic signatures by all families who chose private education.

The organized parents and guardians informed the two officials that since 2009, the Legislation allows all Public Universities in Cyprus to offer supernumerary places to graduates of public and private schools based on recognized international access qualifications, they further state adding that for thirteen years the said law has yet to be implemented because specific administrative regulations have not been passed.

They also report that the non-implementation of the legislation has resulted in thousands of Cypriot students with excellent results in international exams, which are accepted by most Universities worldwide, to be denied the right to study in the Public Universities of Cyprus and call on the House of Representatives, the Ministry of Education and the Attorney General, without further delay, to take the necessary initiatives to allow the Public Universities to offer the supernumerary places provided for the legislation. This will not deprive any Public School graduate of a single seat.
