Concerns about the modernization of Special Education – Multi-page position paper from KYSOA and other organizations

Authorities note significant delays and a change in direction regarding special education, despite the Ministry of Education's assurances of its priority. Discussions continued in Parliament, revealing a shift from a unified education framework to modifications of existing special education legislation. The Cyprus Confederation of Organizations of the Disabled (KYSOA) and other organizations have submitted proposals for legislative changes. KYSOA emphasizes the need for the state to listen to children with disabilities. Concerns were raised about the Provincial Committees of Special Education and Training (EEEAE), whose decisions are often challenged and deemed arbitrary.
