Colleges need new ideas

The education system in Malta is now based on a number of colleges, 10 in all. These colleges cater for the education of our children, from kinder to secondary level. The system has a number of advantages but also disadvantages.

As the system stands at present, the principal of a particular college can occupy the post till he retires. It should be perfected in a way that every three years a principal of one college moves to another, generating new ideas into the other colleges.

Certain colleges have gained a higher reputation than others. Some parents, wanting the best for their children, try to do their utmost even changing their address in order to enrol their children into a particular college.

There are two to three main colleges always in the news while it seems as if the others do not exist! This is not fair. One should bear in mind that one of the main ingredients for the success of a particular college is the principal’s aggressiveness. Principals act as coordinators; they depend on various other governmental departments for the needs of their schools. Some are not as aggressive as others and this tends to show in the success of the college as a whole.

New blood generates new ideas!
