Up To 60,000 Students Enrolled In Primary And Secondary Schools

Oct 24 2024 Share

The National Statistics Office has released data on the total number of students enrolled in primary and secondary schools in Malta during the 2022-2023 academic year.

In 2022, the total number of students enrolled in pre-primary, primary, and secondary education reached 59,491, marking a 1.9% increase compared to the previous year. Of these students, a slight majority were male, with 51.9% of the total enrollment being boys.

The age distribution of the students shows that 45.8% were between 5 and 10 years old, while 37.6% were aged 11 to 15. These figures reflect the key demographic groups within Malta’s education system at the primary and secondary levels.

The report also highlighted the types of schools attended by the students. A significant 59.4% of students were enrolled in state-run schools, making them the most common choice. Church schools accounted for 26.9% of total enrollment, while 13.7% of students attended independent or private institutions.

Geographically, the majority of schools are concentrated in the Northern Harbour District, followed closely by the Southern Harbour District. Additionally, nearly 70% of students attend schools within the same district where they live, suggesting a strong preference for proximity in school choice.

Possible Rain Showers This Sunday

Possible Rain Showers This Sunday
Oct 24 2024 Share

According to the Meteorological Office weather report, Sunday could see some possible rain showers hitting the islands.

The ramp up towards the last day of the week (or the first, depending on how you see it) is set to be early cloudy all the way through.

So really, a bit of precipitation could hit at any point. So you might as well go for that picnic anyway and see where the weather takes you.

Temperatures are set to feel like 25 degrees Celsius, with lows of around 20 degrees Celsius.

Any plans for the weekend?

It was announced that the Liam Payne Memorial set to take place in Malta by local fans of the former One Direction member has changed locations from Triton Fountain to Ġnien Laparelli.

The news was shared on social media through the memorial’s event page, with a poster encouraging attendees to bring anything that reminds one of the late singer.

It is uncertain what caused the need for a location change, but many are set to attend the tribute to Payne, who passed away earlier this month to the shock of thousands around the world.

The event is also raising funds for The Richmond Foundation, to which attendees can donate through Revolut on 79419676 or via BOV Mobile on 99030619.

Anyone donating is asked to specify the purpose of the payment.
