The teachers' union Oelmek and the Secondary Education Parents' Confederation in Cyprus have voiced strong concern and disappointment regarding the government's recent decision not to include 60 additional educational psychologist positions in the 2027 state budget. This joint statement reflects their view that enhancing psychological support services in schools is not merely a luxury but a critical investment necessary for the well-being of students, teachers, and the educational environment.
Parents and educators alike are urging the Ministry of Finance to reconsider its stance, emphasizing that the absence of sufficient school psychologists compromises the ability to adequately support students' mental health needs. They argue that the current system lacks the necessary resources to address increasing psychological demands among students, leading to potential negative impacts on their well-being and academic performance. The organizations stress that improving access to mental health resources should be a priority for the government.
