The chapter focuses on female migration in search of education from Cyprus, from the late Ottoman era (c. 1830) to the late British administration of the island (late 1950s, Cyprus independence 1960). During the nineteenth century, education for women became important, particularly for the emerging entrepreneurial middle class. Greek Cypriots understood the value of education; primary education was moved from local bodies to the colonial government of Cyprus in 1926. This created well paid and socially valuable openings for primary school teachers of both sexes. Women, considered especially suitable for the teaching profession, soon gained society’s acceptance for this course of work. After the creation of independent Greece (1830), a number of Greek Cypriot women began to travel to Greece, to attend the Arsakeion School in Athens. This was functioning as a teachers’ training college and allowed them to qualify for “scientific” formation in the profession. The same applied to kindergarten teachers, considered an even more suitable profession for a woman. Much later there followed educational migration for aspiring female artists (painters, sculptors, musicians), mainly to Greece and the UK. Many of these education migrants returned to Cyprus and played a role, not only in their respective education fields but also in wider the social and cultural development of the island.
