Allegations of Assault on Primary School Student: Parents Fear Cover-Up

The President of the Confederation of Parents of Primary Education, Yannos Ioannou, spoke about the allegations of assault on a first-grade student in Paphos, stating that he has already informed the Minister of Education, who has ordered an investigation. Parents express fears of a cover-up, as the child's injuries are visible and serious. There is information about similar incidents from other children, while the Confederation criticizes the reaction of the school administration, which allegedly attributed the responsibility to the child himself. The Confederation awaits the results of the investigation and the assumption of responsibility, if any.
