Department 'addresses' childcare centre complaints

Well said. Indeed, I am absolutely certain that if I visit the offices of the Department of Social Welfare Standrads and the offices of the Foundation for Education Services, I will see no evidence of air conditioning units, all offices, and I mean all offices will be furnished with a fan to circulate air, and I'm sure I will read signs encouraging the staff to drink water more often in summer.

After reading this sorry excuse of a 'press release', I am utterly disgusted with how the authorities think they can just throw garbage at us and we just sit here reading this and willingly accept it. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

In Mosta centre kids had been left crying with no water to drink.. when I asked why was this they simply said that the water had finished... Why not install AC in schools? for sure there is a way to get cash out of EU for such a scheme.

The temperature is much higher than the acceptable temperature in classrooms during the months of May (late), June, July and September/October. In England/Ireland teachers would not enter a classroom which is below or higher than the acceptable temperature until this is fixed. I am surprised how the MUT never brought up this issue. Most governement offices (including those of the Educ. Div.) have a/c because clerks, etc would not be able to work - sitting down and doing paper work (not disrespect meant) while teachers and pupils have to work in unacceptable heat conditions in hot months and very cold classrooms in winter.

Nice excuse for not having a proper air-conditioning system working?
