Add article description

The Higher Technical Institute of Cyprus was a public tertiary educational institution established in 1968 as a joint project between the Government of Cyprus and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Up to 1973 it was funded both by the Cyprus Government and the special UN fund. In 1973 the Cyprus Government (through the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance) assumed the exclusive responsibility for its operation. Lessons were taught in the English language and lasted for 3 years. Due to the technical nature of the degrees offered, there was a considerable time spent by students in practical experience within the relevant industries.
