POED Seeks Meeting with Justice Minister Regarding School Violence

The Pan-Cypriot Organization of Greek Teachers (POED) is requesting a meeting with the Minister of Justice, Kostas Fytiris, to discuss the prevention and management of violence and delinquency in schools. POED expresses concern over the increase in incidents of violence and threatening behavior from parents and guardians towards school staff, emphasizing that these phenomena undermine educational work and create insecurity. The organization wishes to develop collaborations with the Ministry of Justice and the Cyprus Police to prevent and address school violence, as well as strengthen the institutional framework to ensure a safe and respectful school environment.
