There were over 850 applications for this year’s SEC revision classes in Malta and Gozo offered by Jobsplus for students who failed their O Level exams, or who wish to improve their level.

The revision classes are provided free of charge and focus on the subjects of Maltese, English, Mathematics, Physics, and Biology.

Students aged 15-29 who have failed these subjects can apply to attend the free revision classes.

These classes are held three times a week over a five-week period to prepare students for the September SEC resits. Each student can choose up to three subjects, with lessons given by professional educators.

The Government said that 54% of applicants were female, with the most applications being for Mathematics with 405 applicants. After Mathematics, there were 306 applicants for Physics, 253 applicants for English, 182 applicants for Maltese and 145 applicants for Biology.

Classes are held throughout the day at various educational centres in Victoria, Gozo and in Malta at Mosta, Blata l-Bajda and Paola.

This morning, the students attending these classes at the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology building in Paola were visited by the Minister for Home Affairs, Security and Employment Byron Camilleri and the Minister for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation Clifton Grima, who spoke to some of the students and educators.

Both Minister Camilleri and Minister Grima encouraged the students who are doing their best to continue with their educational path, while thanking the educators for their dedicated work.

Minister Byron Camilleri explained that, “Anyone who fails an exam is not the end of the world. This is why assistance has been offered to over 6,000 students who have applied for revision classes since the scheme was launched by Jobsplus. This initiative is not only supporting students in their academic journey but also broadening their future prospects.”

Minister Grima also congratulated the students and wished them well in their studies. “As a country, we recognise that when there is collaboration between various entities and various departments, we are ensuring that there are the necessary opportunities for our students to achieve their goals and realise their dreams,” said Minister Grima.

“Through this work, we are giving these young people another opportunity to receive the training that is necessary and therefore prepare for the academic appointment that lies ahead of them,” said Minister Clifton Grima.
