Wara t-twaqqif tat-‘think tank’ mill-Ministeru għall-Edukazzjoni u x-Xogħol ilbieraħ, li wasslet għal reazzjoni tal-MUT u l-edukaturi, il-Ministeru kkuntattja lill-MUT sabiex joffri post f’dan it-‘think tank’.

B’referenza għal dak li qed jiġi rappurtat dwar laqgħa virtwali, li saret bejn studenti, rappreżentanti tagħhom u l-Ministru għall-Edukazzjoni u x-Xogħol, ħareġ ċar li x-xogħol tal-edukaturi, fejn qed jagħmlu minn kollox sabiex jilħqu lill-istudenti, m’hux qed jiġi apprezzat.
