A private company has offered to teach English to irregular migrants free of charge, Social Solidarity Minister Michael Farrugia said today.

Addressing a seminar on human trafficking, the minister said that through these services, children and young people would learn English opening up their possibilities to continue with an education and have better opportunities to find a job.

This would also keep them away from a life without any direction which could lead them to criminality.

The minister also spoke on work being carried out so that irregular migrants who were unaccompanied children or minors would not be kept with older people but would be placed in a better environment.

He said that the necessary planning and preparations were being carried out to find a place to use for this aim.
