This two-volume work examines the evolution of secondary education in Cyprus during the period of British colonial rule and the role played within the colonial framework by schools, teachers and their organizations, the student community, as well as other significant contributors such as the Church of Cyprus, the local school boards, and the Greek consulate.

Institutions, groups, and individuals navigate between two realities. On one hand is the "colonial legitimacy," and on the other the pursuit of Greek Cypriots to gain their freedom and unite with Greece. Education emerges as one of the most significant fields where the ongoing confrontation of the two political agendas is manifested.

In the first volume, the author narrates. In the second, the sources.
