Parliamentary Education Committee identifies critical school infrastructure issues in Paphos

On Friday, October 2, 2026, the Parliamentary Education Committee conducted an on-site inspection of school units in the Paphos district to assess educational facilities. Committee Chairman Chrysanthos Savvides reported that the region faces severe building problems, noting that the status of these facilities is particularly unfavorable compared to other districts.

Key findings from the inspection include significant overcrowding across all school units in the district, where the average number of students per classroom is notably higher than elsewhere. Special attention was drawn to the Tsada Primary School, where the committee identified serious concerns regarding the condition of the kindergarten. The committee has concluded that the current state of infrastructure poses risks to students and staff.

Following the visit, the Education Committee is pushing for immediate structural repairs and comprehensive renovations. Members of the committee are calling for urgent planning and the upgrading of school facilities to address safety concerns and ensure that proper educational standards are met throughout the Paphos region.
