Backing up Education and Sports Minister Clifton Grima, Minister for Home Affairs, Security and Employment Byron Camilleri revealed that he too disagrees with the MCAST directive to introduce police officers conducting patrols on campus.
‘Educational institutions are there to provide for the holistic development of students’, explained Minister Camilleri on social media.
‘I disagree with that decided by MCAST and more so about the way it was communicated. The campus is a place for the mixture of varying ideas and thoughts.’
He went on to explain that the police corp is there to offer service to people whilst keeping public order.
‘I have been informed that in the past few weeks the MCAST administration requested that such (extra duty) service is provided. As happens in every other sector, the police corp accepted according to the request of the educational institution.’
He concluded by saying that he welcomes the decision of the Education ministry to investigate immediately.
