It has been announced that Gozitan students will no longer need to travel to Malta to sit for their exams as they will be given the opportunity at the Gozo Campus as of the first semester of next academic year.
Gozo Minister Clint Camilleri explained that following various meetings, a deal had been established between the GUG, UOM and the Education Ministry to make this possible.
He also explained how upgrades to the Gozo campus will also be explored so that students can have the required facilities to continue their studying.
This also comes after insistence by Gozitan Nationalist MP Alex Borg, who issued a letter to the University of Malta’s rector Alfred Vella, to facilitate the exam sittings for Gozo students in Gozo.
WISEflow allows for students to sit exams remotely and was adopted by UOM near the outset of the pandemic. Gozitan students were forced to commute across the Gozo Channel during Storm Helios to sit for examinations.
Despite it being logistically unfeasible to start this new improvement this academic year, the Gozo University Group (GUG) said that this will be applied as of the upcoming one.
PN MP Alex Borg took to social media, saying that common sense has prevailed after insistence by the GUG and himself for this to be adopted.
