Parents Seek Temporary Relocation of Schools in Akrotiri

Parents of students at the Akrotiri Elementary School and Public Kindergarten are requesting a temporary relocation of the schools due to the mandatory evacuation of the area. Parents point out the difficulty of implementing distance learning, as most work and cannot supervise their children at home. The Parents' Association has sent a request to find a common space where children can continue their school routine with their teachers. They believe that separating children from their teachers and friends will have negative psychological effects. The Ministry of Education states that efforts are being made to find a solution and an announcement may be made today. The Ministry of Interior also expresses understanding of the request and is examining it carefully, with the aim of best serving children and parents.
