School safety remains a “non-negotiable priority” for the government, Education Minister Athena Michaelidou said on Thursday, responding to the Audit Office’s findings on fire safety and health shortcomings in public schools.
Speaking after the cabinet meeting, Michaelidou said the issues identified in the auditor-general’s latest report, including gaps in fire safety certification, were already known to the ministry and had been the focus of work over the past three years.
