There was a time when a clear-cut divide was evident between under-funded state schools and the wealthier Church and private educational institutions. A news item, featuring the Prime Minister's visit to the Santa Tereża primary school in Birkirkara, aired on the national broadcaster a few weeks ago, dispelled any doubt that this is still the case today.
State schools have rightly received an injection of funding over the past decade; children now have a better environment within which to hone their skills and interact with fellow students and peers. Moreover, the new college system seems to have provided educators with the necessary impetus to introduce innovative ideas, particularly in the sphere of information technology.
It's wonderful to see a united front between the government and stakeholders in the education sphere.
