Four students in Malta have been awarded needs-based or partially funded scholarships to enroll on a two-year International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma at various colleges across the world forming part of United World College (UWC) as from September. There are 16 such colleges around the world, including southeast Asia, Africa and South America.
Steve Farrugia from St Augustine College will be attending UWC Pearson in Victoria, Canada; Francesco Cassar from St Ignatius College will be attending UWC Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina; Isabelle Anne Cassar from St Monica School, Birkirkara, will be attending UWC Mahindra in Pune, India, and Daryl Mifsud from Maria Regina College Boys School will be attending UWC Maastricht in the Netherlands.
UWC is a holistic educational movement that began with the vision of Kurt Hahn, whose pioneering work and internationally recognised educational pedagogy seeks to bring young people from different backgrounds together in understanding through education. The college’s mission is to make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
