Parents in Karpasia up in arms over lack of teachers

Parents in the Karpas peninsula village of Ayios Andronikos are up in arms over a lack of teachers at the village’s primary school.

Despite the school year having now begun two months ago, the north’s ‘education ministry’ has not yet assigned a fourth grade teacher to the school, meaning that children in the fourth grade are forced to attend “combined” classes with children younger than them.

In the north, the fourth grade is the final year of primary school and is attended by children aged nine and 10.
