EDUCATION

Education in Cyprus is overseen by the Ministry of Education and Culture. The education system is divided into pre-primary education (ages 3โ€“6), primary education (ages 6โ€“12), secondary education (ages 12โ€“18) and higher education (ages 18+). Full-time education is compulsory for all children aged between 5 and 15. State-provided schooling including higher education is paid for by taxes.

Pre-Primary Education is compulsory for all children between 4 8/12 โ€“ 5 8/12 years old. Children are also accepted over the age of 3. This level of education aims to satisfy the childrenโ€™s needs for the development of a wholesome personality in an experiential environment which enables them to recognize their capabilities and enhance their self-image.

Primary education is compulsory for all children over the age of 5 8/12 and has a duration of 6 years. The aim of Primary Education is to create and secure the necessary learning opportunities for children regardless of age, sex, family and social background and mental abilities.

Secondary General Education offers two three-year cycles of education โ€“ โ€˜Gymnasiumโ€™ (lower secondary education) and โ€˜Lykeioโ€™ (upper secondary education) โ€“ to pupils between the ages of 12 and 18. The curriculum includes core lessons, interdisciplinary subjects and a variety of extracurricular activities.
Instead of the โ€˜Lykeioโ€™, pupils may choose to attend Secondary Technical and Vocational Education which provides them with knowledge and skills which will prepare them to enter the workforce or pursue further studies in their area of interest.

Post-Secondary Vocational Education and Training (Post- Secondary Institutes of VET) offers all types of vocational education and training and provides students with the necessary qualifications by imparting academic and technical knowledge, as well as professional and practical skills. The duration of the programs offered is two years, on a 5-day basis.
