European Parliament to Release Report on Rizokarpaso Students

The European Parliament is preparing a report on the students of Rizokarpaso, following a proposal by Cypriot MEP Lucas Fourlas. The report, conducted by the European Parliament's Research Service through the CULT committee, is expected to be published on January 30th and will serve as a basis for future reports and resolutions. Mr. Fourlas intends to propose a visit by the Committee to Rizokarpaso to investigate the issue firsthand. In addition, the MEP announced that he will travel to London on February 17th with a delegation from the European Parliament to negotiate a reduction in tuition fees for European students. This move comes after the UK's inclusion in the Erasmus program, an initiative promoted by Mr. Fourlas himself. The investigation into the students of Rizokarpaso has gained the attention of the European Parliament, as it concerns access to education for a vulnerable population group. The publication of the findings is expected to contribute to finding solutions to the problems faced by these students. The effort to reduce tuition fees for European students in the United Kingdom is a significant step towards strengthening mobility and access to education for young people in Europe. The success of the negotiations will have a positive impact on thousands of students who wish to study in the UK.
