Gonzi given enthusiastic welcome at the Junior College

Gonzi given enthusiastic welcome at the Junior College

Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi was given an enthusiastic welcome by a large crowd of Junior College students this morning.

Dr Gonzi made a brief visit to the college, meeting students and officials. He chatted informally with the students, signed autographs, posed for pictures with them, and then grabbed a camera and took a couple of pictures himself.

Earlier Dr Gonzi addressed a press conference about the PN's education policies (see separate story).

Alex Cutajar was born on the 20th of November 1993. Alex is currently reading a Bachelors degree in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Malta. Ma jafx x jigifieri tghix taht Mintoff! daqs zmieni kellek l-opportunita li mhux biss tmur l-universita, tiehu stipendju u minn fuq ghandek l-opportunita li tista tghajjar lil Gvern minghajr ma tispicca maqtul.

Why should he stop them shouting? The PN is convinced all students MUST follow the party, so no one was annoyed with the shouting.

For your information, SDM also gave Joseph Muscat a hoodie to sign, and had their representatives there with him too. So yeah - you only came out as a misinformed person with this implication. Next time, make sure you know the facts well.

Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.

Kemm sawtuna il- puluzija ta SMU bil lembubi u ghalqulna skejjel fi zmien mintoff. Int ma nahsibx tiftakara ta b'xejn jew xejn Ilona. Mhux kulhadd seta jitghallem fi zmien Mintoff Ilona, illum anke it-tifel tal haddiem jista jilhaq avukat jew perit, imma dak iz-zmien mintoff riedna kollha injoranti halli jkun jista jikontrollana.

Fuq kollox int semmejt il-passat u jien wiehed li rispondejtek fuq il-passat xejn dinjituz li kelli l-isfortuna li ghextu fi zmien ir-Regim Socjalista.

Veru Grazzi ghall-Mintoff, imma mhux fuq l-edukazzjoni izda li helisna minn Gvern Socjalista/Laburista u x'naf jien, li fi 22 xhar ghamel bissDIZASTRU.

Hasra li bosta esponenti Socjalisti ghajruh TRADITUR ( Forsi int wahda minnhom kont min jaf !

Ilona, fejn kont int fi zmien Mintoff?

Ahna li konna studenti dak iz-zmien dahhlilna l-Gharbi BILFORS, l-20 punt u l-Parrinu.
Taf kemm kien hemm studenti l-Universita?

Imma x'wicc ghandkhom titkellmu fuq l-Edukazzjoni intom is-Socjalisti?

HERBA ghamiltu fl-edukazzjoni

C. Bartoli

Feb 11th, 17:51

in my days I wasted 5 years studying arabic to gain the 20 punt and than I still was not able to attend university because I had no parrinu. in my days there were 700 students attending the university and nowadays there are over 10,000 students and there are over 700 different courses

and when it comes to job opportunities in my days the only options were Sanga, Seleco, Dejma, fabbrika tal kappar and textile factories and if you had some bazuzlu pushing you you could WIN a job as a public clerk or a Bank Clerk controlled by the Government.

Mr. Brown get your facts right. Most of the present University lecturers graduated in Malta under a Labour governement. Closing "most University courses"? I'm sorry but I guess you think that you are speaking to people who live in a vacuum.

scott brown

Feb 11th, 15:49

@K G Vella
since you're not in a vaccum, tell us which courses were available in 1977, when medical students chained themselves to castille, when mintoff stopped and removed all BSc courses, when doctors were compelled to study abroad. So get your facts right and try not rewrite history the way it pleases you. i lived through those days and no JM or KG Vella will make me forgot them.

twegibiet retorici li jhammgu lill-haddiehor biex tidher helu int. Is-sur Borg ma qal xejn kontra xi partit jew iehor, semma l-fatt li l-malti poplu marid li m'ghandu xejn ahjar fiex jinfenha hlief jissapportja gvern qishu kien tim tal-futbol...iz-zewg nahat li huma.
