Cyprus Mail: Teachers’ union to boycott exams over university admissions

TEACHERS’ union OELMEK announced yesterday that its members in secondary education will boycott the Modern Greek Pancyprian Exam, due to start in just a few weeks, in protest at the Education Ministry’s proposal to allocate three per cent of public university places to pupils holding international qualifications such as GCEs or the Baccalaureat.
