A special primary school is established in Kythera
By emergency meeting, held via real-time teleconference using email, unanimously approved by the Municipal Council the establishment of a two-seat Special Primary School in Kythera, from the school year 2021-22. The establishment of the new Primary School was a constant request of our Municipal Authority since 2015, as the number of primary school students with learning difficulties is significant. With the establishment of the Special Board, the existence of a substantial social policy on our island is proven in practice, as the new school will be attended by students from many families, who face learning difficulties, such as (indicatively) autism, dyslexia, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyscalculia, developmental aphasia, speech and language difficulties - language disorders, visual-motor disorders, hearing impairment, borderline intelligence, behavioural disorders etc.
The costs of housing and operation of the new Board will be borne by our Municipality through the Primary Education School Committee.
