Curtains for remote island school due to lack of students

A primary school teacher stands in front of a school on the southern Aegean island of Karpathos with its two remaining pupils. The school will not open this September after 63 years as the two children will move to a nearby school. Located in Diafani, the primary school and kindergarten in the area was built in 1960, with money from the prefecture and Michael Avdellis. It had about 100 pupils.
