Enhanced Education for Hospitalized Children to be Implemented Next Year

Enhanced education for children hospitalized in Cyprus or abroad, or unable to attend school due to medical reasons, is expected to be implemented from the new school year. The Parliamentary Committee on Education expressed satisfaction with this development, which followed discussions and proposals regarding the need for organized and institutionalized education for children who are out of school for extended periods. The protocols will include home education, distance learning, and other tools, with an emphasis on psychological support for children and their families, as well as teacher training. The implementation of the protocols is expected to begin in September.
