On Thursday, a group of students, teachers and education officials will form a corteo that leaves the Floriana primary school at 9.30am.

They will walk towards the Dun Karm Psaila monument in front of the War Monument on St Anne Street.

A ceremony, including poetry readings, an official speech and the laying of flowers, will start at 10am.
