§ 77. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many teachers in primary, secondary, and other schools, respectively, in Cyprus are appointed, paid, and pensioned, by the Greek Government.
291W
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydNo teachers in Cyprus are directly appointed by the Greek Government but about a quarter of those in secondary schools, though actually appointed by the governing bodies of the schools, are Greek nationals, some of whom have been recruited by those bodies through the Greek Ministry of Education. The Cyprus Government have no official knowledge that any teachers receive either pay or pension from the Greek Government, but they have reason to believe that, by arrangements made directly with individuals, some retired teachers do receive pensions, or supplements to pensions, from that Government.
