Millions Invested in Student-Focused Education Policies for 2026

The Ministry of Education has prioritized student-focused education policies as its first strategic goal for 2026. The Annual Action Plan includes interventions totaling €116.15 million, aiming to improve the quality of public education and meet the needs of students. The main pillars of these policies are improving learning outcomes, fostering essential skills and critical thinking, digital and green transition, integrating technology, empowering educators, implementing modern assessment systems, and internationalizing higher education. Specific actions include revising curricula, developing new study programs, upgrading laboratories, and providing teacher training, with a focus on addressing the mismatch between education and the labor market. The plan also includes upgrading the all-day school system and improving special education. The Ministry has already mapped out its priorities for the new year and incorporated the actions into the Action Plan. The implementation of these policies is considered crucial for providing modern and comprehensive education to students in Cyprus.
