POED: YPAN Meetings for Evaluation are Held Without Consultation

The POED (Cyprus Primary Teachers Union) expressed strong dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Education, Sports and Youth (YPAN) for proceeding with information-training meetings regarding the new legislation on the Evaluation of Teachers and Educational Work of Primary Education, without prior consultation with them. The organization calls on its members not to participate in these meetings until a meeting is held with the Ministry to discuss the issue. Furthermore, POED points out that the number of meetings and participants is insufficient to meet the needs of the eight thousand teachers concerned by the training, given the already difficult situation due to the understaffing of schools.
