Education was, is and would remain the absolute priority for the Nationalist Party, Opposition leader Simon Busuttil said today during a meeting with the University Students’ Council (KSU).
He said that for many years, PN led governments gave Malta a strong and trustworthy education sector through which the best education possible was provided for thousands of Maltese and Gozitan students.
On the other hand, the Labour government was undermining education, especially when it came to tertiary education standards. The PN, Dr Busuttil said, would continue to do its utmost to ensure that education in Malta was safeguarded.
KSU president Becky Micallef said the council was to continue working to ensure that students’ rights were safeguarded.
Referring to the lowering of standards, she said the council had been surprised by the government’s actions and pressured for replies, which pressure was to continue in the coming days and weeks.
