The Moviment Zghazagh Partit Nazzjonalista Gozo, has said in a statement that “as a group working among Gozitan youths, it has forwarded some proposals to the organisations contesting the Kunstill Studenti Universitarji elections.”

MZPN Gozo added that it recognises the sterling work of KSU members throughout the past years both in relation to the general working of the Council and also in relation to Gozitan students studying at the University of Malta.

These proposals have been drafted after a good analysis of what is the current situation at the University of Malta in view of Gozitan students, MZPN Gozo said.

Some of the main proposals put forward by MZPN Gozo include an appeal for more services to be offered at the Gozo Campus. These vary from the opportunity to submit assignments at the Gozo Campus, and better Library facilities and resources at the Gozo Campus.

Another proposal is for the extension of KSU activities to Gozo. Proposals concerning logistics include better communication with transport authorities. mainly to coordinate ferry and bus schedules for the commute between Cirkewwa and University, the introduction of another bus route departing from University and the extension of an X1A service after the 6.45am ferry.

Finally, MZPN Gozo said, an appeal for an allotment of a safer place than that already available, where students can deposit their luggage.

On a concluding note, the MZPN Gozo wished “good luck to all candidates contesting these elections. We look forward to working closer to these organisations and KSU once elected.”

The proposals are shown in full below in Maltese;

L-Ghaqda ‘MZPN Gozo’, filwaqt li tirikonoxxi l-hidma kbira li saret f’dawn l-ahhar snin mill-Kunsill Studenti Universitarji (KSU) sabiex tiffacilita` l-hajja tal-istudenti Ghawdxin, thoss li ghandha tressaq xi proposti li jistghu jigu nkluzi fil-manifest tal-ghaqdiet li jirrapprezentaw l-istudenti, u li se jikkontestaw l- elezzjonijiet tal-Kunsill Studenti Universitarji.

• Il-KSU ghandu jkompli jahdem biex l-istudenti kollha Ghawdxin li jattendu xi kors gewwa l- Universita` ta’ Malta jkollhom il-possibilta` li jaghmlu l-ezamijiet taghhom gewwa Ghawdex. Anke studenti li jkollhom xi ezami/jiet f’Settembru.

• Il-KSU ghandu jheggeg il-fakultajiet kollha sabiex juzaw is-sistema li l-assignments jigu submitted online. Jekk ghal xi raguni dan ma jkunx possibli, l-istudenti Ghawdxin ghandhom jinghataw il- facilta` li jiehdu l-assignments taghhom gewwa l-Kampus ta’ Ghawdex, biex minn hemm jghaddu ghall-fakultajiet rispettivi.

• Il-KSU ghandu jahdem biex isahhah il-liberija tal-Kampus ta’ Ghawdex. Aktar minn hekk, student ghandu jkollu l-possibilta` li jirritorna materjal tal-liberija tal-Universita` ta’ Malta gewwa l- Kampus ta’ Ghawdex.

• Il-KSU ghandu jahdem aktar biex is-servizz li ga jezisti ta’ video conferencing li hemm fil-Kampus ta’ Ghawdex jigi wzat aktar. Nipproponu li ghandha ssir sistema fejn studenti li jhossu li ghandhom bzonn juzaw dan is-servizz, jinghataw din il-possibilita` minghajr problemi. Din trid tkun sistema kongunta mal-fakultajiet kollha tal-Universita` ta’ Malta, u l-amministrazzjoni tal- kampus ta’ Ghawdex.

• Ghalkemm diga hemm identifikati xi postijiet fejn student Ghawdxi jkun jista’ jiddepozita l- basket/bagalja, dan mhux sigur. Ghalhekk nipproponu li jkun hemm sistema ta’ lockers kemmxejn imdaqqsa gewwa Students House, li joperaw b’mod simili ghal dawk tal-librerija. Dawn ghandhom ikunu accessibbli tul il-gimgha kollha.

• Wahda mill-isfidi li jaffaccjaw l-Ghawdxin hi t-transpor t. F’dan ir-rigward, qed nipproponu li jkomplu jsiru aktar diskussjonijiet mal-operatur tat-trasport pubbliku;

o Primarjament biex jitnaqqas il-waiting time gewwa ic-Cirkewwa ghall-istudenti Ghawdxin. Ghalhekk nipproponu li z-zewg rottot li jitilqu mic-Cirkewwa ghall-Universita`, jitilqu 40 minuta wara li jkun skedat li jitlaq il-vapur minn Ghawdex.

o Proposta ohra f’dan ir-rigward tkun li tibda rotta gdida, li l-punt tat-tluq ikun l- Universita`, bid-destinazzjoni tac-Cirkewwa b’hekk is-servizz bejn l-Universita` u c- Cirkewwa jkun dejjem aktar puntwali u efficjenti.

o Apparti hekk, ghanda tigi kkunsidrata l-possibilita` li s-servizz tal-X1A jigi estiz anke wara l-vapur tas-6.45am. Din tkun rotta efficcjenti ghal studenti li jibdew il-lezzjonijiet taghhom kmieni filghodu.

• Il-KSU ghandu jistudja wkoll il-possibilita` li l-Universita` ta’ Malta tkun tista’ toffri servizz ta’ mini-bus lill-istudenti Ghawdxin specjalment fil-bidu u t-tmien tal-Gimgha meta jkun hemm hafna Ghawdxin gejjin u sejrin lejn Ghawdex. Dan is-servizz jista’ jigi iffinanzjat mit-Transport Fund tal-KSU, ghar-raguni li bih l-emissjonijiet ser jigu mnaqqsa, peress li jintuza anqas it- trasport privat. Dan qed nipproponuh fid-dawl li diversi studenti Ghawdxin qed jorganizzaw minibuses privati biex iwassluwhom minn u lejn ic-Cirkewwa.

• Nipproponu wkoll li l-KSU ghandu jaghti incentivi lill-istudenti Ghawdxin li hafna minnhom jghixu l-Imsida u fil-madwar biex juzaw aktar il-facilitajiet sportivi li toffri l-Universita`.

• Il-KSU ghandu jestendi wkoll l-attivitajiet li jigu organizzati, lejn il-gzira Ghawdxija. Apparti hekk, ghandha tisahhah il-komunikazzjoni fir-rigward tal-istudenti Ghawdxin li jattendu fl-iskola Sir M.A. Refalo u l-link mal-Guidance Office tal-istess skola. Dan sabiex il-perjodu ta’ tranzizzjoni ikun kemm jista’ jkun facli ghall-istudenti kollha.

Filwaqt li nirrikonoxxu l-hidma kontinwa li tkun ghaddejja gewwa l-KSU, nheggu lill-membri li se jigu eletti wara dawn l-elezzjonijiet biex matul is-sena li gejja jzommu lill-istudenti aktar infurmati b’dak li jkun qed jigri. Dan il-kuntatt jista’ jinzamm billi membri ta’ dan l-istess Kunsill jinzlu aktar qrib l-istudent u jiddiskutu dak li gie mwettaq u dak li jkun qed jigi diskuss matul is-sena. B’dan il-mod ta’ kommunikazzjoni, aktar studenti jkunu jistghu japprezzaw il-hidma ta’ dan il-Kunsill u d-dedikazzjoni li jgorr mieghu.

Kelma ta’ awguri lil din l-ghaqda u l-kandidati kollha taghha.
