Working mothers who wish to attend university do not have it easy, graduate Rita Maniscalco pointed out at a graduation ceremony yesterday.
“It is even harder when young children are involved as they need a lot of attention,” she said, adding that the two-year Diploma in Facilitating Inclusive Education must have been easier for those who were not carrying the heavy load of a family on their shoulders during the course.
During her opening speech yesterday, she elaborated on the content of the course, saying it had instilled in students an internal change about the way different persons were included in society.
Persons with a disability should not be pitied, Ms Maniscalco said, but had to be accepted and included as respected persons in society.
In a later speech, Bachelor of Education graduate Geraldine Sapiano pointed out the need for students to recognise the importance of holistic education, to get their heads out of their books and participate in other activities.
The ex-president of the University Student Teachers’ Association said university experiences should not be solely made up of lectures, exams and assignments. She praised the work of Degree Plus team in this regard, who provided opportunities for students to develop their other skills.
