The Maltese islands consist of Malta, Gozo, and Comino and two tiny uninhabited islands, strategically located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. This handbook contains a brief description of secondary education in Malta. Following the introduction, section 1 provides an overview of the mission of the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, Malta's constitutional and legal framework, the state system of education, the student population, educational administration, and landmarks in the development of secondary education. Section 2 discusses the following issues: policy formation and educational innovation, educational finance, the varying educational tracks, absenteeism, curriculum, postsecondary education, evaluation and assessment, support services, school staff, the school year, salaries, and the European influence. Section 3 reports on efficiency and performance of the secondary education system; and the student population, student intake, and graduates at the University of Malta. The fourth section describes challenges to Malta's educational system, which include lifelong learning, information technology, national development and educational change, resource allocation, teacher shortage, decentralization, examinations and certification, and schools as community centers. Nineteen tables are included. (Contains 22 references.) (LMI)
