Lifelong education plan

Education Minister Louis Galea said the ministry would soon start discussing with interested parties the first draft of a national strategy for lifelong education.

Dr Galea, who was taking part in an Employment and Training Corporation forum for employers in the electronics sector, said that after setting up the Malta College for Arts, Science and Technology and after having strengthened education in technology, the government was now drawing up plans for a reform in secondary schools so they would prepare students having vocational inclinations for further studies.
