Population shift away from city centres drives school development

The new technical school in Polemidia, set to replace Limassol’s first technical school and nearly double its capacity to 700 students, is expected to be completed by December 2026, according to director of secondary technical and vocational education and training Elias Markatzis.

Speaking to Entrepreneurial Limassol, a publication by the Limassol Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Evel), Markatzis said the education ministry would assess whether the transfer could take place smoothly during the 2026-2027 school year.
