In the article Unions Condemn Insults At PM, Nationalist MPs, I read with a degree of perplexity that "Mr John Bencini, who had led the protest with GWU general secretary Tony Zarb, said he went straight home and followed the debate from there because he was 'disgusted' at the insults hurled by the demonstrators at the government MPs". Given that Mr Bencini holds the post of president of the Malta Union of Teachers, and keeping in mind that the teaching profession has the responsibility for the education of future generations, I would suggest the immediate introduction of a new subject in the National Minimum Curriculum, namely "Developing the Skill of Foresight"! Perhaps this would ensure that future presidents of the teachers' union would be more judicious in deciding what sort of events they should participate in.
