Trade schools might be getting a revitalisation as both main political parties, Labour and Nationalist, have promised pledges which target their recreation and maintenance.
On their part, the Labour Party highlighted how the closure of trade schools back in the 1990s left a skills vacuum in Malta. PL deputy leader Daniel Micallef said that despite MCAST being set up and became successful, the gap was still felt.
Micallef said that the party wishes to fill in that vacuum as employers still find it hard to find people with certain skills. Without turning back the clock, the party pledged that they wish to empower youth by creating new opportunities and pedagogical systems to help them develop the skills.
As the PL proposes the establishing of a new crafts institute at MCAST, the Nationalist Party came up with its own take on solving the issue. The opposition pledged to expand MCAST’s programmes to invest in training linked to new economic sectors.
This bodes particularly well with the PN’s pledge to create 10 new economic sectors which vary from AI to meta verse technology. They also pledged setting up an Apprenticeship Program of Excellence in collaboration with industries and specialised training to students were pledged by Bernard Grech and his party.

This isn’t the only medical facility impacted by the invasion as in Zhytomyr, a city of 260,000 people to the west of capital Kyiv, two hospitals were bombed. One of them was a children’s hospital, and thankfully, no one was wounded.
‘What kind of country is this, the Russian Federation, which is afraid of hospitals, afraid of maternity hospitals, and destroys them?’ Zelenskyy urged the West to impose more sanctions so that Russia does not continue the genocide.
