The Malta Union of Teachers in a statement today said that it “would like to make reference to reports in the media in which the Minister for Education and Employment was quoted as saying that the introduction of co-education at St Clare College was not in actual fact a pilot project.”

The MUT said that in “April 2013 it had received a letter from Evarist Bartolo to inform the Union about the plans to introduce co-education as a pilot project at St. Clare College. The Union is hereby publishing an excerpt of this letter as follows:

“The pilot project will involve all current Year 6 St Clare Primary students who will progress together to St Clare College, Secondary School, Pembroke (Sandhurst) in September 2013 as they enter for their first year of secondary schooling. The pilot project will be evaluated in June 2014 with the aim of further expansion at a national level.”

The MUT said that it “has nothing further to add to the above, which is self explanatory.”
