Parents protest plan to remove prefab classroom at Tremithousa Primary School in Paphos
Parents of children attending Tremithousa Primary School in Paphos are staging a protest against plans to remove one of the school's six prefabricated classrooms, which are currently the sole teaching spaces. The Education Ministry reportedly plans to reallocate the classroom to another school, prompting concerns about further reduction in facilities for Tremithousa students.
The school operates entirely out of prefab classrooms, and parents argue that instead of making cuts, authorities should focus on upgrading the school's infrastructure. The situation has sparked significant unrest within the community, with figures including Chrysanthos Savvides, chair of parliament’s Education Committee, criticizing the decision as a downgrade for the already disadvantaged school.
In response to the outcry, authorities have suggested modifying other classrooms to accommodate more students, but parents remain dissatisfied. The protest is held outside the school, and discussions continue as the community urges officials to reconsider their approach.
