National Youth Council calls on university students to support KSU

The National Youth Council (KNZ) is urging all university students to sign the University Students’ Council petition “Our education is not a bargaining tool” to show their disapproval at directives given to lecturers aimed at halting examinations.

The government and unions representing lecturers are currently in dispute over lecturers' pay.

The KNZ also urged students to join in the university rally, being held at the Quadrangle on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

It appealed to the government and the University of Malta Academic Staff Association to discuss and find a solution to the issue.

It condemned the fact that there had been no negotiations since December 1. This was in no one’s interest. And although the action taken by lecturers was disproportionate, the government’s delay was not ideal, it said.

The petition can be found at www.ksu.org.mt.
