Educators should be treated as front-liners, union says

The Union of Professional Educators has spoken out in favour of educators being treated as front-liners and be amongst the first to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

While commending the swift arrival of the vaccination in Malta, the UPE calls upon the government to treat educators as front-liners given the amount of contact they are exposed to on a daily basis.

The union also highlighted the vast amount of cases emerging from academic establishments in the past few months and the waves of self-isolation or quarantine that educators have to endure.
