This year marks the centenary of the birth of the prominent Maltese artist Hugo Carbonaro. Together with George Preca, he was one of the first students of the Malta School of Art. Front cover pictures shows Alberi (oil on canvas, 1959) which was painted during one of many visits to his beloved Italian campagna. Frankin Barbara, the MUT General Secretary dwells on the importance of student services in teaching and the formation of every individual student. Joe Chetcuti, a retired Head of School, worked successfully with unmotivated children at Floriana Primary School, by instilling in them a love for music. In the children, this enhanced self-esteem and the ability to concentrate, behave well during lessons and learn better. Saviour Rizzo asks whether Malta will follow what seems to be the modern trend, and privatize education. Peter Vassallo writes about value-added changes as a result of the introduction of the new Primary Mathematics syllabuses. John Bencini, MUT President writes an article entitled, "Why Trade Unions have to be renewed". Trade Unions today have to face new challenges, such as the globalization of economies and the increasing flexible nature of work. The
MUT Newsletter is dedicated to news, MUT Press Releases, an article
on Health and Safety Education and an editorial by MUT's president
entitled "An Education system for Students and not the other
way round". This section also includes a short write up in
memory of Ferdinand Demicoli and Paul Bonavia two ex-Council members
who both passed away in 2007.
