Organized parents and students of Paphos Secondary Education held a protest outside the offices of the Provincial Office of Education, on the issue of the four months.

Holding placards with slogans such as “We want visions and not experiments”, “Schools that educate and not that destroy” and “Not in the exam-centered school” protested noting that the process has turned into a race in order to cover the exam material.

Agathi Savvidou, representative of the organized parents who gathered at the event said that they want to discredit the position that “the rough plans, the unilateral decisions with piecemeal policies of the Ministry of Education lead to the collapse of the education system”.

He added that the new form of evaluation in the way it is applied “oppresses and neutralizes the students” while the continuous competitions in combination with the large amount of material, the reduced teaching time and the untimely staffing of the schools causes “unbearable pressure” on the students and teachers. 

The teaching process has turned into a “race” covering the material on the part of the teachers and sterile memorization of knowledge on the part of the students, he said while mentioning that there is no time for consolidation of the material.

Finally, he asked for a comprehensive study in which all the involved factors in the organization and operation of the training will be captured system before any student assessment plan is implemented.
