The Municipal Council has approved a new proposal submitted by several council members calling for the cancellation of licenses for private schools operating in residential areas by the end of the 2027/2028 academic year.

The decision entails revoking all approvals and licenses previously granted by the municipality to private schools located within private housing.

These institutions will be required to cease operations, with the Ministry of Education responsible for implementing the closures.

The move aims to regulate educational facilities and ensure that schools operate in appropriate and dedicated premises that meet safety and infrastructure standards.
