WATCH : Volt’s Thomas ‘Kass’ Mallia highlights what three aspects Malta requires most work on

Mar 9 2022

During our latest episode of ‘The Interview with Fabian Demicoli’, Volt Malta tenth and eleventh district candidate Thomas ‘Kass’ Mallia highlights which three aspects the country requires most work on.

“First and foremost, every person who speaks to me for more than an hour knows, an educational reform right out of the bat.” Mallia stated that the country requires a correct restructuring and an increased push on critical thinking, with the Volt candidate stating that it is not about teaching people how to think, but teaching them how to be critical.

The second aspect would be bureaucracy and digitisation, with Mallia stating that Malta requires a complete reform of government resources and the IT sector. Such a reform would allow more efficient tax collection, delegation of resources and monitoring of workforce performance, ensuring steady operations and a massive halt of the ‘shadow economy’.

In that order, the third pillar Mallia and Volt would tackle would be Malta’s democratic system, how parties operate, the way they operate and are funded and ultimately, the way they are elected.

The Nationalist Party have proposed to offer the right of study leave during examination periods for people who study full time.

The new pledge comes as part of the Opposition’s aim to improve the educational sector overall, also pledging other proposals which would target students, teachers and all those somehow involved in the sector.

This new measure would give those who are studying any course the possibility of taking leave to focus on their examinations as they seek to further their education and possibly change their career path.

The party also proposed more pledges aimed at improving the lives of students and teachers, revealing how, if elected into government, the PN would open a new specialised secondary school every year.

The party also pledged to create developmental programs focused on talents on a personal basis of each student, increasing by 25% students’ maintenance grants as well as the stipend of students who do voluntary work.

The party also pledged to hand out €500 vouchers to students between the ages of 16 and 21 for cultural or sport related travel as well as the overall improvement of the conditions of work for teachers at all levels.
