The Cypriot government has a new plan. It will help private schools grow. Many more international students are coming to Cyprus. Schools need more space for them. The government is offering help to build new schools and make current ones bigger. This plan started in March 2025. The Interior Ministry is managing the project.
This plan is needed because of more foreign students. They want to study in Cyprus. This puts pressure on existing schools. So, the government is making it easier to build. Schools can build higher and need fewer sports fields. They can also get more parking spaces. These changes will help schools welcome more students.
Many schools are already using this plan. Twenty-eight schools asked for help. Ten have been approved. Fifteen are still being checked. Three applications were not accepted. Private schools have grown a lot recently. The number of small private schools increased. The number of primary private schools also grew.
Schools want help all over the island. Limassol has the most applications. Paphos is next. Nicosia and Larnaca also have applications. Schools that get help must also help with housing. They give money for affordable homes. This money helps build houses for people.
This is a smart plan for Cyprus. It helps education and housing. The government wants to make sure there are enough good schools. It also wants to help people find affordable homes. This plan will make Cyprus a better place for students and families.
