Greek Schools to commemorate EOKA struggle with educational tributes

Greece
Published by VEMA

Education Minister Sofia Zacharaki announced on Monday that all middle and senior schools will now commemorate the EOKA (National Organization of Cypriot Fighters) struggle for Cyprus’ independence.

A new directive sent to schools mandates a two-hour educational tribute on Tuesday, April 1, marking the 70th anniversary of the 1955 Cypriot uprising against British rule.

The initiative aims to educate students on Cyprus’ history and cultural heritage.

The EOKA campaign (1955-1959) played a crucial role in establishing the Republic of Cyprus, with fighters seeking both self-determination and union with Greece.
