The co-education system will be starting from Form 1 in all colleges from the scholastic year 2014-15.
The Gozo College Victoria Girls’ Secondary School is designated to become a Middle School.
The Ministry for Education said that a consultation process that showed that colleges were in favour of the co-ed system and willing to introduce it together with the middle school concept.
This decision follows the introduction of co-education in secondary state schools at St Claire’s Secondary School, in Pembroke, last September.
Following feedback from parents, educators and students, the set-up of the colleges will remain as is. Furthermore, to cater for the imbalance in the college population, the middle-school set-up will not be the same in all colleges.
Some colleges will have the middle school on premises within the same secondary school set-up.
These include the following schools: Mosta Boys’ Secondary School, Mosta Girls’ Secondary School, Zejtun Girls’ Secondary School, Sta Lucia Girls’ Secondary School and Pembroke Secondary School.
The other middle schools will be operating from another school as shown below:
The Education Ministry said that all other students in the secondary sector will continue their education in the current schools.
It is also to be noted that the National Sports School will be located at the current St Andrew’s GSS.
