Maltese Matsec exam

The claim that the Intermediate Maltese examination paper contained a question on the environment, when this theme is not in this year's syllabus, is misleading and incorrect (May 16). The question was on "l-ambjent ta' dari" not on "l-ambjent naturali".

The claim that the Intermediate Maltese examination paper contained a question on the environment, when this theme is not in this year's syllabus, is misleading and incorrect (May 16).

The question was on "l-ambjent ta' dari" not on "l-ambjent naturali". The question falls within the theme "L-Identità Nazzjonali" which is in the 2007 syllabus.

There are several poems in the set anthology that treat this aspect of national identity.

The comments that followed the complaint were, therefore, completely unwarranted.
