Gozo College Middle School, is one of the sixteen schools awarded the eTwinning School Label 2020-21. It is the only one in Gozo to achieve the award.
Minister for Education and Employment Owen Bonnici remotely joined the group of sixteen schools in order to give his congratulations and encouraged other schools to follow in their footsteps.
“Schools which have been awarded with the eTwinning School Label are great examples of how whole schools benefit from eTwinning as an innovative methodology to collaborate within the largest global network of educators, said Minister Owen Bonnici
He added that, “I am truly proud to say that Malta is once again one of the European countries with the largest number of awarded eTwinning schools per capita.”
“Due to COVID-19 this year, we did not get the opportunity to meet together for this beautiful ceremony. Nonetheless, we still found a way in order for this ceremony to happen as these schools truly deserve recognition for their hard work,” continued Minister Bonnici.
With the eTwinning School Label, eTwinning recognises and appraises the involvement, commitment and dedication not only of individual eTwinners, but of the whole school, where teams of teachers and school leaders work together.
It is a developmental journey and such schools are recognised as leaders in: digital practice, esafety practice, innovative and creative approaches to pedagogy, promoting continuous professional development of staff, promoting collaborative learning practices with staff and students.
