With a firm commitment to fostering a safer and more supportive educational environment, the Cyprus Ministry of Education is poised to amend the 2020 legislation on school violence. This move, strongly backed by the Parliamentary Committee on Education, signifies a pivotal shift towards addressing the long-standing challenges of in-school violence through practical, actionable solutions.

Why is Modern Legislation Crucial?
For years, attempts to tackle school violence have been hampered by ineffective provisions, leaving educators, parents, and students in a precarious situation. The proposed amendments aim to streamline and improve existing laws to make them more applicable and effective in today's educational settings. Key changes include the abolition of obsolete standards and the establishment of School Safety Teams, dedicated to ensuring that schools are safe havens for learning.
What Changes are Being Proposed?
The proposed legal reforms are multifaceted, focusing on:
Eliminating outdated legislation that no longer serves the current educational landscape.
Defining and implementing School Safety Teams responsible for addressing and preventing violence within schools.
Revising the framework to foster a culture of understanding, respect, and security across all educational institutions.
How Will This Impact Cyprus Education?
The revitalization of the legislation on school violence is expected to have a profound impact on the way schools address the challenges of bullying and violence. By creating more practicable and modern standards, the government aims to pave the way for a safer and more nurturing educational environment. This initiative not only protects the physical well-being of students but also promotes a culture of empathy and respect, crucial for the holistic development of young minds.
