Vandalism at Paphos Primary School – Cameras to be Installed

Serious incidents of vandalism have been occurring in recent weeks at the 10th Paphos Primary School 'Evagoras Pallikaridis'. According to the President of the Parents' Association, Yannis Ioannou, the vandalism is almost daily and targets both the school buildings and its property. Complaints to the School Board have not prevented the incidents, causing disruption to students and staff. The school's easy accessibility and the difficulty in identifying the perpetrators exacerbate the situation. The Paphos School Board has been informed of the problem and immediate action is expected. The most important decision is the installation of security cameras at the school, aiming to deter further vandalism and identify those responsible. Mr. Ioannou expressed hope that the installation of the cameras will act as a deterrent and create a safe environment for students and school staff. The situation has reached a critical point and requires immediate and effective action. The installation of cameras is expected to take place as soon as possible, in order to limit damage and ensure the smooth operation of the school. Authorities hope that taking these measures will send a strong message that such acts will not be tolerated.
