ADPD Leader Sandra Gauci, who is a teacher herself, stated that the Malta Union of Teachers should have issued strong directives against the Department of Education’s circular censoring educators.
The Department of Education issued a circular late last year ordering educators not to speak in public about the education system so as not to “compromise its integrity”. A teacher was recently reprimanded by her Headmaster for failing to ask for permission before making comments about the education system on a a TV discussion programme.
The MUT did not initially react to the circular, but last week it announced that it would send a petition against it to the government. The Union of Professional Educators submitted a complaint to the Ombudsman over the circular.
