🚨 ROAD REPORT CY

🪧Education Ministry: Today's student absence misplaced, politically exploited
Education Ministry issues statement on today's nationwide student abstention from classes. It calls the action inappropriate for projects already under implementation. Air-conditioning installation in all schools and school building upgrades are government priorities, backed by investment, budgets and timelines. Implementation proceeds as planned; the reaction is excessive and unjustified and is being politically exploited.

Work continues uninterrupted, including electrical upgrades and mandatory safety checks. No compromises on the safety of pupils, teachers and staff. Ministry urges cooperation to complete the projects.
