The relevant announcement of AKEL Larnaca
We express our strong concern and denounce once again the repeated authoritarian, racist attitude and behavior of the principal of a secondary school in Larnaca , who refused to hand over the diploma to a student from Syria and others under the pretext of their haircut.
The result was the dissolution of the ceremony.
This attitude of the principal often creates problems and parents complain about the concealment and tolerance shown by the competent Ministry and its head.
Indicative of situation in this school is the following question: Why was it deemed necessary to invite private security guards to a graduation ceremony? Let those in charge respond.
We call on the Minister of Education to investigate the incident and finally assign responsibilities.
