The Malta Union of Teachers expressed satisfaction at the outcome of the investigation related to the Skola Sajf saga, saying the findings practically confirmed what it had been saying all along.

The union said it had been in constant contact with heads of schools and coordinators and had outlined, many times, the disastrous situation which included understaffed centres and arrogant reactions by the Foundation for Educational Services to requests for staffing, lack of provisions to replace teachers attending in-service courses and staffing with persons who are not trained or licensed to teach.

MUT said the report stated that it was the first to notify the minister about the shortcomings in the Skola Sajf preparations.

"This shows once again that the union is well in touch with the realities its members are facing and that it has been providing constructive criticism in situations where it feels there could, or should, be improvement for the benefit of all."
