Education

Cyprus welcomes investor interest in education. Cyprus is committed to further strengthening education and is focusing on reforms to achieve sustainable growth. The Ministry of Education and Culture is harmonising the education system in line with the European Standards & Guidelines for Quality Assurance.

 

The Cyprus Council for the Recognition of Higher Education Qualifications (www.kysats.ac.cy) has been established since 1996.

In addition, Cypriot educational institutes actively participate in EU programs, like the Eurydice Network and the ERASMUS program.
