With an overwhelming majority, 96.46% of the participants, the teachers - members of the OMC went to the polls today and authorized the Board of Directors to take dynamic measures, in case this is deemed absolutely necessary, regarding the health measures promoted by the government in schools, such as the practice of "Test to stay", as well as for the separation between Special, Pre-primary and Primary Education.
The Pancyprian General Assembly of the OMC was held today, Saturday, January 15th, with success, taking into account that it took place under particularly difficult conditions, due to the outbreak of the pandemic, stated in a statement by the OMC after the completion of the process.
"Despite all the objective difficulties, the participation of colleagues was satisfactory and representative of their will. With respect to the safety and health protocols, but also to the democratic procedures, the members of the OMC went to the polls and gave by a huge majority the authorization to the Board of Directors of the OMC, to take dynamic measures, in case this is deemed absolutely necessary, in order to prevent any unsubstantiated separation between Special, Pre-primary and Primary Education, to demand the assurance of safety and health conditions in our school units and to demand their proper and smooth operation," it added.
"We especially thank our colleagues and colleagues for their presence today at the provincial polling stations and for the trust they have shown once again in the Organisation. It is very important that the colleagues, with a percentage of 96.46%, authorized the Board of directors of the Organization to manage in the best possible way, the efforts made to manage the situation and to take any measures deemed necessary in the course of the process."
The Organization stresses that it will responsibly utilize the authorization of colleagues, with the aim of ensuring safety and health conditions and the smooth operation of all school units.
