People urged to have their say on uniforms and school line-ups issues

The issues of whether to retain uniforms or not, and school line-ups are up for consultation, announced Minister for Education, Evarist Bartolo. Minister Bartolo urged people to take an active role in the two public consultations on the said issues. Initial feedback has shown that people are content when it comes to school line-ups, i.e. the schools making up a college. Feedback will be requested, as well, on uniforms during the coming school period; whether students and their parents are in favour of retaining the current uniforms, going for simpler uniforms or removing of uniforms. Minister Bartolo clarified that the Ministry will heed the outcomes of the consultations, and that changes will not be made just for the sake of it. The public can give their feedback on colleges.mede@gov.mt or uniform.mede@gov.mt.
