The Malta Union of Teachers this morning launched the first edition of its academic journal called The Educator.
The journal replaces the magazine, The Teacher, which has become obsolete given that the union communicated with teachers regularly through circulars and through its website, explained editor George Cassar. Evolving from a magazine to a journal gave the clear message that teaching was a profession, he said.
The MUT also launched Premju Sagħtar – a prize that will be given out to Year 3 students in all schools for proficiency in reading in Maltese. The prize will be given during prize day of other special activities. Both Sagħtar and The Educator are published by MUT Publications.
