- akrotiri schools — The nursery school and primary school in the village of Akrotiri, along with the environmental education centre, will reopen on Monday, the education ministry has confirmed.
These institutions have remained closed since an Iranian-made drone struck the nearby British air force base in the early hours of March 2. The incident prompted an evacuation order for the village, affecting the local community and disrupting educational activities.
In the interim, lessons were relocated to the village of Kolossi, situated in the Limassol district, allowing students from Akrotiri to continue their education despite the challenging circumstances they faced. The move was necessary to ensure the safety of the students and staff following the drone attack.
As of Friday, the interior ministry announced the lifting of the evacuation order, paving the way for a return to normalcy in Akrotiri. The reopening of schools is a significant step towards restoring the community’s routine and providing a sense of stability for families.
Parents and students alike expressed relief at the news, eager to resume their educational activities in familiar surroundings. The education ministry’s decision reflects a commitment to ensuring that children can return to their learning environment while safety measures are likely still in place.
Local officials and community leaders have been working closely with the education authorities to ensure that all necessary precautions are adhered to as schools reopen. The focus remains on safeguarding the wellbeing of the children while allowing them to engage in their studies.
