The Malta Union of Teachers has described the SEC Results published yesterday, as "very significant," being the first ones from post-Junior Lyceum students.
In a statement today the MUT said that, "five scholastic years down the line, the Union is being proved right about the fact that the grand expectations from the new system, which changed drastically from a selective one to comprehensive schools using a one-size-fits-all educational system without providing the necessary training and resources, were not going to give any improved results.
The MUT is currently discussing the new Sectoral Collective Agreement with the Government and it is hoped that this will include the possibility for more flexible systems.
The Union said that it hopes that space, resources and professional flexibility is given, "o finally grant educators to match their professional status and to reach the maximum potential of the students entrusted to them." Meanwhile the MUT thanked all educators for their hard work.
