Corroborated

This is the highest status Cyprus Rights may assign on its own authority. It meets the independent-source thresholds set out in Cyprus Rights' editorial doctrine.

Facts

For the 2018-19 school year, the Ministry of Education's own account to CERD states it employed a Turkish Cypriot teacher who taught Turkish language for six periods a week, alongside History, Muslim religion and other social issues, at a primary school with high attendance of Cyprus Roma pupils.
