Educational life:
Greek is the main teaching method in public primary schools and junior high schools in Cyprus, while English is the teaching method in private schools.
As a former colony of Britain and now a Commonwealth country, Cypriots speak fluent English. If you walk on the streets of Cyprus Road, the decorations of shops and the weekly discount newspapers are in English. The basic education in Cyprus is British education, and teachers need to obtain British teacher qualification certificates before they can take up their posts. Most students enter British and American universities after graduation. According to local knowledge, many local universities in Cyprus also run schools jointly with British universities, studying in Cyprus for the first two years and studying in Britain for the second two years.
Students choose to return to Cyprus after graduating from British and American universities. Almost 80% of the local young people have studied in British and American universities, and many British and American graduates also regard Cyprus as an ideal place to work. Therefore, most middle and high school teachers in Cyprus have diplomas from famous British and American schools, and some locals have graduated from famous British and American schools, such as Cambridge (housing) and California Institute of Technology.

Private education, regardless of nationality, is paid by the students themselves. Many private schools speak English and have a high level of education. General fees for private schools are as follows:

Let's take a look at Larnaca's famous private school: AmericanAcademyLarnaca.
American schools in Larnaca have a history of 65,438+000 years, 80% of which are local Cypriot students and 20% are Russian and British students.
The school has several teaching and research sections, including English, science, mathematics, business and creative arts. There are about 15 teachers in each teaching and research section, all of whom graduated from British and American universities. In addition to traditional physics, biology, chemistry and other courses, the school also offers courses in computer, information technology and economics. It's very, very strange how high schools in China can ignore computer education and business just because they didn't take these courses in the National College Entrance Examination (Weibo). Today, with the rapid development of information technology and economy, ignoring these courses shows how backward education in China is, and English literature is also a compulsory course, just like Chinese classes in junior and senior high schools in China. For Cypriots who are fluent in English, English literature is also provided to improve their children's English literature literacy. Elective courses such as Greek, German and French also provide children with the door to learn a language. It is necessary to train their clients' children into international talents. As a powerful tourist country, the Tourism Department of the University of Cyprus ranks among the best in the world, and has offered courses on tourism since high school.
The life of Cypriot immigrants has always been relatively comfortable, and the education of Cypriot immigrants is also relatively high quality. Once you immigrate to Cyprus, you can solve the problem of children's education, let children enjoy high-end education, and both parents and children can enjoy high-end benefits. It's killing two birds with one stone.
