Malta makes international headlines as Italian director slams green pass system

Malta makes international headlines as Italian director slams green pass system
Aug 26 2021 Share

Malta has made international news headlines once again as an Italian director’s experience with travelling to the island goes sour. Newsroom ‘La Repubblica’ posted the story of theatre director Piero Maccarinelli, who expounded his experience to the news outlet. He says how despite having had one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine due to having contracted the virus the year prior, his green pass did not give him access to Malta. 

This is because the certificate is only applicable for Malta with two vaccine doses. He described the experience as surreal and framed it as a clear limitation to a European citizen’s liberty to travel to a European nation. His voyage to the island was put down due to Malta’s specific pandemic regulations.

The contract will see Cristiano earn £14-15 million a year, which is almost half his €30m-a-year contract he has at Juventus. Sky Sports have also reported that Juventus have offered the 36-year old to Manchester City in order to finalise the deal and find a replacement.  Manchester City are believed to not want to spend money on this deal, and so instead are offering Juventus a chance to exchange players. Right now the Cityzens have offered Bernardo Silva or Gabriel Jesus.

This is why online shopping has skyrocketed

This is why online shopping has exploded in popularity
Aug 26 2021 Share

The 21st Century has welcomed a slew of game-changing technological developments which have changed industries as we know them and online shopping is at the forefront of such innovation.

E-commerce giant Shopify has reported that the pandemic permanently boosted online shopping and predicts that such an activity will continue to grow around the world… but how did this come to be?

The closure of various shops and establishments around the world earlier on in the pandemic birthed what is now known as Generation-C, ‘connected consumers’ which are uniquely defined by their integration of technology into their daily routines. They use the internet effortlessly and extensively to accomplish a wide range of tasks. This, paired with the ability to sidestep traffic, parking hassles, endless queues and stock availability issues makes online shopping a breeze. However, not all retailers facilitate online shopping and many fail to capitalise on an outlet which is exploding in popularity.

In July, the Malta Communications Authority revealed that 53% of digital buyers also shopped online from suppliers based in Malta and one in every three digital buyers purchased their daily needs via the internet.

While social media remains a go-to source for shopping inspiration, platforms like Facebook and Instagram just don’t cut it for businesses anymore. We, as customers, expect immediate and assistive experiences with products delivered as fast and efficient as possible. That’s why stores’ user-friendly apps remain one of the biggest tools for sellers.

If you want to level-up your business, going online is a must and Tech.mt is here to make sure that you stay up to date with the latest technology and are ready to cater to Generation-C.

Teachers’ union hits out at proposal to make post-secondary mandatory

Teachers’ union hits out at proposal to make post-secondary mandatory
Aug 26 2021 Share

The Malta Union of Teachers hit out at the Malta Business Chamber after it proposed making post-secondary education mandatory by extending the compulsory school age by two years. This would see students having to stay in school up to the age of 18, with the union stating that the chamber cannot take such decisions with business being the sole interest in mind. ‘The educational system is bowing too much to the interest of business and this has to stop’ the statement claimed. 

‘Schools are not the producers of workers to meet the needs of businesses, but education is a holistic experience being provided to individuals to enable them to reach their potential beyond employment needs’ it continued. According to the statement, business’ influence on education is leading to low level training programmes and this is not the holistic educational experience the MUT wishes Malta to provide. ‘Businesses want to shrug off their responsibilities to train new workers for their immediate needs by expecting educational institutions to carry out training through the proposed extended compulsory age.’ 

The statement concluded with the MUT suggesting the Chamber analyse how businesses are encouraging young students from discontinuing their studies after few years of post-secondary eduction. This, the statement points out, leads to students being lured through ‘initially attractive salaries’ and then ending up without certification. The MUT expects the Chamber to address the shortcomings of its business members rather than shifting the blame towards the educational system which ‘is beyond their competence.’
