The Opposition is in favour any change that would help more children to succeed, the Labour Party’s spokesman for education said.

Referring to the proposed educational reform announced yesterday, Evarist Barolo said that it was positive that although the Junior Lyceum examination was to be retained, those who failed would have an opportunity to re-sit.

Mr Bartolo was accompanying Opposition leader Joseph Muscat during a visit to the Junior College this morning.

Dr Muscat said that the spread of students from north to south at this college showed that it was not true that people from particular areas of the country were not reaching educational levels.
