National Education Strategy 2024-2030 Public Consultations
Feb 2 2024 Share

“This is an Education Strategy that will transform the education sector by placing individuals at the center – students, educators, and parents. We aim to ensure that education is of high quality through increased support and resources for educators, allowing students to realize their full potential.” 

This was stated by the Minister for Education, Sports, Youth, Research, and Innovation, Clifton Grima, during the commencement of the latest series of public consultation meetings on the National Education Strategy 2024-2030.

The meetings are being held at the Malta Council for Science and Technology building in Raħal Ġdid, addressing each sector, with the initial one focused on stakeholders in the education sector.

Minister Grima emphasized that this strategy is not the product of any office; instead, it is built collaboratively, with the first consultation meetings being conducted directly with educators, students, and parents. 

Educators were central in shaping this strategy, recognizing that every individual unlocking their potential in the educational journey relies on the guidance of educators. Over the past few months, more than 200 consultation meetings have taken place, involving not only those directly associated with the education sector but also the general public.

This strategy aligns with other initiatives developed in recent months, providing a holistic transformation of the sector. It doesn’t just pave the way for the year 2040; it lays the groundwork for beyond. 

Before the presentations, attendees also shared their contributions and thoughts on the document, emphasizing that the education sector is dynamic and constantly evolving to meet emerging global needs. The strategy is forward-thinking, preparing for the future of children, ensuring they have all the opportunities to achieve their aspirations while addressing emerging needs. Overall, it aims to provide education that enables students to reach their maximum potential.

Permanent Secretary at the Ministry, Matthew Vella, explained that this was an extensive exercise to promote dialogue and consultation, expressing enthusiasm for the imminent implementation of this strategy. He emphasized that for these changes to occur, training and the necessary support are essential, ensuring the ongoing improvement of the education sector.
