The government has set up the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority, an independent entity that will ensure the highest education standards are maintained.
Speaking at the authority s launch, Education Minister Justyne Caruana said the government is committed to ensure quality education. We are committed to providing access to quality education for all. This is a point which I don t mind stressing - inclusive education is a fundamental right of every boy and girl. Thanks to this authority, we hope to build a community where everyone feels valued and accepted, Caruana said.
On her part, authority CEO Rose Anne Cuschieri said the entity works in a way that legitimises and safeguards both the institutions and programmes of study as well as the students.
