Majority of University exams to be held online after student uproar

Jan 14 2022

In a recent statement published by the University of Malta, it was reported that an estimated 700 of 976 exams are to be held remotely during its first semester. The reasoning behind this was due to the disruption cause by Malta’s current quarantine measures.

The previous decision to hold physical exams created somewhat of an uproar from various students and organisations, with a petition campaigning for online lectures and exams gaining just under 2,100 signatures. Examinations will start on Monday January 24th.

The University stated that after consulting with faculties, institutions, centres and schools, “it was decided that more than two thirds of exams scheduled to be held at the end of the first semester are to be held online.”

Do you agree with the decision?

Sliema man owed neighbours €2,000 after multiple reports of barking dogs

Jan 14 2022

A Sliema resident was ordered to give his neighbours €2,000 due to the inconveniences caused as a result of his barking dogs.

In 2013, Carmel and Ruth Bonello opened a court case against Anthony Bonett in the First Hall of the Civil Court. The couple did not only ask Bonett to remove his dogs from the premises but provide compensation for the damages caused. The Bonello couple and Bonett live next door to each other in St. Helen’s Street.

The couple complained that Bonett’s four dogs were barking excessively throughout all hours of the day and night, submitting three reports to the Sliema Police Station between 2011 and 2013 before deciding to file an official court case. One year after the case was opened, Bonett decided to remove his dogs.

Despite this, judge Micallef concluded that the dogs’ barking contributed to the couple’s anxiety and thus, Bonett was ordered to give the couple €2,000 in compensation.

Jan 14 2022

On Thursday, Minister for Education and Sport Clifton Grima took to Facebook to share that a whopping €3 million will be invested into Matthew Micallef St John stadium, which stadium will welcome a number of international Special Olympic Games in May.

Grima reported that the investment included the building of a brand new central stand and the improvement of facilities to an adequate level such as the restoration of all buildings and the provision of new office spaces for Athletics Malta officials. A ceiling for the warm-up track will provide shelter from any kind of weather, allowing athletes to use the track all year round.

The minister stated that such an investment allows Malta to welcome further sport tourism and when the project is finished, the stands will be able to welcome 3,000 spectators at once.

Do you look forward to the completion of the stadium?
