Over the past ten years a strong debate has been introduced and initiated by the government of Cyprus on reforming the structure and goals of education. A comprehensive report, prepared by a group of academics, pointed to the need to reshape the highly Greek-centralized Cypriot system (Committee on Educational Reform, 2004) and introduced the first seeds towards Cypriot educational autonomy (Karagiorgi & Nicolaidou, 2010). Additionally, the Cypriot government is striving to rationalize the educational system, emphasising on creating citizens that are inspired by democratic ideals and critical thinking. The strongest weapon for a nation-state is to have and use the teaching of language and history. With these subjects, the state, attempts to pass its traditions, customs, ideals, values and historical achievements to its students and future citizens (Persianis, 2010). Further, the knowledge of history will strengthen the national moral and foster attitudes and behaviors that a state needs from its citizens.
