Secondary school teachers from St Albert issued an open letter to all students beginning their new scholastic term this week, even though they will have to start two days late. 

The open letter began by stating that, whereas in previous years, students would have celebrated the beginning of a new term, it would be very difficult to replicate it this year. 

“You’ve lost two whole days of learning because of what happened this summer. As you most probably know, some Dominican friars and their friends fired the headmaster, Mario Mallia, and our school has been crumbling ever since” the open letter read. 

The letter continued to explain how many teachers and other staff that used to love working with the students resigned from their positions as well. 

“Please forgive us if we take that tough decision as well. We are still fighting against what we believe is an unforgivable injustice. We hope you understand that what we did as Saint Albert staff this summer was an educative experience in itself.”

The letter then encouraged the students to resist and fight for what they believe in if they experience injustice and when they see ‘people in power intentionally work[ing] to break the communal spirit.’ 

“We promise, if possible, that we will not stop fighting for you because you deserve the best possible educative experience. Exactly like you used to have in years prior. This is the only reason we are ready to wish you a fruitful scholastic year, despite the circumstances.”

According to reliable sources, MaltaDaily was informed that more resignations took place from the last update. No time tables are present, LSEs have no idea about what responsibilities they have and assistant heads to teachers have left the school.
