Paphos students back on the streets

Students in Paphos on Tuesday held a further demonstration outside the Kykkos Lyceum protesting against its planned closure. They left lessons at 11am and marched to the government buildings which house local educational offices in the centre of town.
The school has already merged with the closed down Nikolaideio Gymnasium, meaning a reorganisation of the timetable through which lessons are five minutes shorter, leading students to claim they are missing out on valuable study time.
The lyceum is due to close when all its current students have graduated, at the end of the next school year.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
