“More youths are choosing to leave Malta,” Dr. Bernard Grech states.

Jan 15 2024

Speaking to Malta Daily during an official event held by the Nationalist Party, Opposition Leader Bernard Grech raised concerns about the state of Malta’s education system. He emphasised the ongoing dispute between educators and the government over pay and other measures, stating that this is adversely affecting students.

The Opposition leader criticised the government for misallocating funds, particularly pointing out alleged “ghost jobs” that cost millions, while suggesting that the money should have been invested in fair wages for educators. According to Grech, these issues are driving more youths to leave Malta, serving as a stark indicator of the government’s failure.

In his remarks, Grech underscored the Nationalist Party’s commitment to providing the youth with a brighter future in Malta, positioning the current situation as a critical test of the government’s ability to address systemic challenges in the education sector.
