Two university graduates highlighted the benefits of free education but also the responsibility this put on students.

Dirk Urpani and Yanica Sant yesterday reminded new graduates how fortunate Maltese students were compared to their European peers.

Students in the EU were fighting against the “astronomical increase” in university fees, which, unfortunately, became a huge hurdle for their continued studies, Ms Sant said. Not only did Maltese students read for a degree without paying for tuition but they also received a stipend from the government, she added.

Such a system, however, created a burden, Mr Urpani said. “This burden is not only financial but one of responsibility, where we give back the country what it invested in us through commitment and service. We have to develop our career but also contribute to the country’s development, especially the judicial system,” he said.
