The Ministry of Education says this is important. It helps schools be modern. It also helps Cyprus follow rules. The plan will give rewards. This can help teachers teach better. It can also help students learn more.

But, the big teachers' group, ΟΕΛΜΕΚ, is not happy. They do not like the new law. Their boss, Dimitris Taliadoros, said they did not agree. He said the Ministry did not listen. So, the group may do more things.

The vote in parliament was close. Many people talked about this. The law passed with 29 votes for it. 18 votes were against. This shows some people disagree. The new plan starts in March. It will be fully ready in 2028.
