The new school year in Cyprus begins with many innovations and changes designed to upgrade the quality of education and ensure a more modern and flexible learning environment. These changes are tailored to the needs of students across all educational levels.
Stabilization and Strengthening of Human Resources
One of the key goals for this school year is to strengthen the human resources in schools. With the hiring of 10,000 new teachers, Cyprus aims to reduce the need for substitutes, offering greater stability to students and improving the quality of teaching. This move is expected to create more stable and cohesive educational teams that can more effectively support students.
Modernization of Primary Education with New Technologies

In primary education, technology plays a leading role with the introduction of interactive whiteboards in the classrooms of 5th and 6th grades. These boards incorporate advanced features that allow students to participate more actively and engagingly. Additionally, the new digital tutoring platform will provide extra educational support, enabling students to enhance their knowledge outside school hours with interactive and age-appropriate activities.
International Role and Recognition for Higher Education

In higher education, Cyprus's assumption of the presidency of the European Schools is a development with significant international dimensions. This presidency not only enhances Cyprus's profile on the global stage but also allows for the promotion and implementation of innovative educational practices in European schools. Efforts are also continuing to modernize infrastructure and enhance digital learning in universities and higher education institutions.
New Regulations for Mobile Phone Use in Schools

In secondary schools, stricter rules regarding the use of mobile phones during classes are being introduced. Students will be required to keep their phones in their bags, avoiding any use during school hours. This policy aims to reduce distractions and improve concentration during lessons. Violations of these rules will result in strict consequences, underscoring the seriousness with which this issue is being addressed.
Technological Upgrades and Digital Content in Secondary Education

Secondary education in Cyprus continues to invest in the technological upgrade of schools. In addition to tightening rules on mobile phone use, the expansion of interactive whiteboards in all 11th and 12th-grade classrooms is another step towards enhancing digital learning. These changes aim to improve the educational experience, making learning more interesting and aligned with modern needs.
These changes and innovations are part of a broader strategy for the continuous improvement of the educational system in Cyprus, ensuring that students have the best possible conditions to develop their skills and knowledge.
