Educational Initiatives of the Greek Community in Britain 1 EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVES OF THE GREEK COMMUNITY IN BRITAIN By Elli Loizidou Papaphotis Ass. In. Ed., Dip. Ed., M.A. Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Institute of Education. May 1984 2 ABSTRACT The problem approach is used in this thesis. An analysis of the problem is made in the Introduction. The change refers to the development of a multi-cultural society in Britain. The arri- val of parents with different language and culture from the Greek and Greek Cypriot community, who wish to maintain their Greek identity is examined as the specific change. The no-change is related to the English education system which is seen as transmitting an English culture. The problem is, how to accommodate the wishes of Greek parents while maintaining an English ethos. The lack of response of English primary education to such demands between the years 1902-1980 is examined. The Greek supple- mentary schools in Britain are seen as the proposed solution to the problem. Chapter I deals with the development of the Greek com- munity in Britain since 1955 and the demands for the maintenance of a Greek identity. In Chapter II the lack of change in English primary educa- tion to meet the educational needs of children from the various ethnic groups is analysed. Chapter III analyses multi-cultural education policies related to primary education since the 1960s. The policies of the D.E.S. at national level and two LEAS (ILEA and Haringey) are examined. Chapter IV deals with the study of aims, administration, finance and structure of the Greek supplementary schools in Britain. Chapter V examines the curriculum and Chapter VI deals with the teachers of these schools. 3 Chapter VII presents the responses to Greek supplementary schools from Greek and Greek Cypriot groups and organisations in Britain as well as the responses of the Ministries of Education in Cyprus and in Greece. Finally chapter VIII presents the responses to these schools by English educational authorities (including DES, Schools Council, NUT, ILEA, Haringey LEA) and of teachers in a selected number of schools in Haringey. 14 Contents Page Acknowledgements 11 Abbreviations 12 Foreword 13 Introduction 114 Chapter I: The Greek Community since 1955 and the Main- 23-60 tenance of a Greek Identity.

Donovan Adams Research Advisor: Stuart Swiny, Ph.D. March 2013 1 Abstract The Early Bronze Age of Cyprus is not a very well understood chronological period of the island for a variety of reasons. These include: the inaccessibility of the northern part of the island after the Turkish invasion, the lack of a written language, and the fragility of Cypriot artifacts. Many aspects of protohistoric Cypriot life have become more understood, such as: the economic structure, social organization, and interactions between Cyprus and Anatolia.

  • IX. Nationale Ansprüche, Konflikte Und Entwicklungen in Makedonien
    IX. Nationale Ansprüche, Konflikte und Entwicklungen in !akedonien, 1870–1912 Vasilis K. Gounaris 1. Vom bulgarischen Exarchat bis zur bulgarischen Autonomie Kraft des ersten Artikels des Firmans des Sultans vom 27. Februar (nach dem alten Kalender) 1870 wurde ohne Wissen des Patriarchats das bulgarische Exarchat gegründet. Von den 13 Kirchenprovinzen, die in seine Verantwortung übergingen, könnte man nur die Metropolis von Velesa rein formell als makedonisch bezeichnen. Doch gemäß dem zehnten Artikel des Firmans konnten auch andere Metropoleis dem Exarchat beitreten, wenn dies mindestens zwei Drittel ihrer Gemeindemitglieder wünschten. Dieser Firman gilt als die Geburtsurkunde der Makedonischen Frage, was jedoch nicht zutrifft. Die Voraussetzungen für die Entstehung feindlicher Parteien und die Nationalisierung dieser Gegensätze waren Produkt der poli- tischen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Umschichtungen, die der Erlass Hatt-i Humayun (Februar 1856) mit sich gebracht hatte. Dieser Erlass hatte zu Veränderungen des Grund- besitzsystems zu Gunsten der Christen geführt und die çifliks offiziell vererblich gemacht. Er hatte auch die Voraussetzungen für öffentliche Arbeiten und für eine Änderung des Steuer- und des Kreditsystems geschaffen. Und schließlich war, im Rahmen der Abfassung von Rechtskodizes, vom Patriarchat die Abfassung allgemeiner Verordnungen für die Verwaltung der Orthodoxen unter Mitwirkung von Laien verlangt worden. Die Fertigstellung und die Anwendung der Verordnungen führte nacheinander – schon in den Sechzigerjahren

  • A Historical Perspective on Entrepreneurial Environment and Business-Government-Society Relationship in Cyprus
    A Historical Perspective on Entrepreneurial Environment and Business-Government-Society Relationship in Cyprus Gizem ÖKSÜZOĞLU GÜVEN, PhD. Brunel Business School, Brunel University United Kingdom ABSTRACT This article studies the entrepreneurial environment and business-government-society relationship in Cyprus during the Ottoman Empire period (1571-1878) and during the British Colonial period (1878- 1960) with an emphasis on Cypriot Turks. These two periods have particular socio-cultural and economic importance in Cypriot history. Furthermore, these periods are significant in terms of setting out the basis of today’s entrepreneurial culture and practices in Cyprus. This article presents insights on the governance styles, significant figures and positions within society during those periods. It also discusses the connections between administrative officials and businesses. By doing so, it aims to shed light on the entrepreneurial environment in each of these periods. Extensive research of historical documents and relevant literature suggests quite similar structures in both periods, yet more complicated relationships during the British Colonial period. Keywords: Entrepreneurial environment, business-government-society relationship, Cyprus, business history, Ottoman Empire period, British colonial period, 1. Introduction This article aims to shed light on entrepreneurial practices and business-government-society relationship during two of the most recent and influential periods of Cyprus; the Ottoman Empire period and the British Colonial period. This article provides insights to current entrepreneurs and foreign investors to understand the antecedents of business culture, certain practices and structures that originate from those two periods in order to better adapt to the current entrepreneurial environment. The first section discusses each period, the way entrepreneurial practice and business-government- society relationship were shaped and the second section provides a discussion.

Cyprus and British Colonialism: A Bowen Family Systems Analysis of Conflict Formation Abstract This article uses family systems theory and Bowen family systems psychotherapy concepts to understand the nature of conflict formation during British colonialism in Cyprus. In examining ingredients of the British colonial model through family systems theory, an argument is made regarding the multigenerational transmission of colonial patterns that aid in the perpetuation of the Cyprus conflict ot the present day. The ingredients of the British colonial model discussed include the homeostatic maintenance of the Ottoman colonial structure, a divide and rule policy through triangulation, the use of nationalism and triangulation in the Cypriot education system, political exploitation, and apartheid laws. Explaining how it centers on relationships and circular causality, nonsummativity and homeostasis reveals the useful nature of family systems theories in understanding conflict formation.

  • Balkan Wars Between the Lines: Violence and Civilians in Macedonia, 1912-1918
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: BALKAN WARS BETWEEN THE LINES: VIOLENCE AND CIVILIANS IN MACEDONIA, 1912-1918 Stefan Sotiris Papaioannou, Ph.D., 2012 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe, Department of History This dissertation challenges the widely held view that there is something morbidly distinctive about violence in the Balkans. It subjects this notion to scrutiny by examining how inhabitants of the embattled region of Macedonia endured a particularly violent set of events: the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War. Making use of a variety of sources including archives located in the three countries that today share the region of Macedonia, the study reveals that members of this majority-Orthodox Christian civilian population were not inclined to perpetrate wartime violence against one another. Though they often identified with rival national camps, inhabitants of Macedonia were typically willing neither to kill their neighbors nor to die over those differences. They preferred to pursue priorities they considered more important, including economic advancement, education, and security of their properties, all of which were likely to be undermined by internecine violence. National armies from Balkan countries then adjacent to geographic Macedonia (Bulgaria, Greece, and Serbia) and their associated paramilitary forces were instead the perpetrators of violence against civilians. In these violent activities they were joined by armies from Western and Central Europe during the First World War. Contrary to existing military and diplomatic histories that emphasize continuities between the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913 and the First World War, this primarily social history reveals that the nature of abuses committed against civilians changed rapidly during this six-year period.
