Education should be based on social justice - Zminijietna Voice of the Left
Zminijietna - Voice of the Left noted that in the current electoral campaign education is being treated superficially and in a partisan manner. Zminijietna said that the educational sector requires more serious politics.
Zminijietna said
“Malta requires more investment in education, especially for the most vulnerable groups. It is a fact that great advances were made in Malta’s educational sector, and it is a fact that Malta possesses educational institutions of a very high level. Yet, at the same time, Malta occupies the bottom places in EU tables on areas such as youth participation in post-secondary education. Therefore, we agree with a stipends system that is based on financial payments and educational grants, so that no student would give up continuing studying due to financial reasons”.
“Malta requires a comprehensive and life-long educational system. The introduction of colleges is a positive step forward, yet the Maltese educational system is still based on the selective politics of streaming, which is resulting in large numbers of youth, especially from the working class, who are ending up without qualifications”.
“Our country also requires politics that encourage community involvement in socio-educational activities, thus increasing social capital. Besides, children should be subject to less stress and should be given more chance to enjoy their childhood”, added Zminijietna, which also emphasised the importance of education and training of workers. Such training should respect the experiences of workers and not impose alien and humiliating experiences on them.
