Educational updates: Greek director acquitted and Cyprus teacher appointments

A high school director in Zagora, Greece, has been fully acquitted by the Primary Disciplinary Council of the Thessaly Regional Directorate of Primary and Secondary Education. The director had faced disciplinary action following an incident where a student, who was supposed to be at home due to a suspension, was permitted to remain at the school. This decision was made due to the parents' inability to supervise the student, adverse weather conditions, and the need for a scheduled meeting with the school's psychologist and social worker.

In Cyprus, the Educational Service Committee has announced updated placements and contract-based appointments for teachers, effective September 10, 2026. These appointments are based on educational needs and candidate priority lists, with contracts set to expire on August 31, 2027. Candidates must respond via the digital service ‘Contract Teacher Appointments’ by 10:00 AM on September 10, 2026, and must submit a clean criminal record certificate by 2:00 PM on the same day.
