Today, the management of the Malta College of Arts, Science, and Technology (MCAST) met with student representatives from Kunsill Studenti MCAST (KSM) and other students. During the meeting, MCAST officials updated students on the ongoing talks with the Malta Union of Teachers (MUT).

College officials are holding regular meetings with MUT. During an official meeting this week, MCAST presented MUT officials with several proposals to find an agreement for the new collective agreement. The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, the 22^nd of January.

Despite positive talks held with MUT and IRU, MUT issued a directive to lecturers not to publish first semester results.

MCAST’s management hopes that MUT stops its current directive so that College students can continue their academic studies unhindered.

Laqgħa ta’ informazzjoni mal-istudenti tal-MCAST

Aktar kmieni illum il-maniġment tal-Kulleġġ Malti għall-Arti, x-Xjenza u t-Teknoloġija (MCAST), iltaqa’ ma’ l-Kunsill tal-Istudenti tal-MCAST (KSM) u rappreżentanti oħra tal-istudenti, u spjegalhom l-andament fit-taħditiet mal-MUT.

Kien spjegat li qed isiru laqgħat regolari, tant li din il-ġimgħa saret laqgħa mal-MUT li matulha tressqu numru ta’ proposti konkreti mill-MCAST bil-għan li jintlaħaq ftehim. Laqgħa oħra għandha ssir nhar it-Tnejn 22 ta’ Jannar.

Minkejja l-laqgħat regolari u pożittivi li saru mal-MUT u l-IRU, il-Union xorta ħarġet id-direttiva li l-letturi ma jippublikawx ir-riżultati tal-ewwel semestru.

Il-maniġment jittama li jintlaħaq ftehim li jwassal biex l-Union tneħħi d-direttiva li qed taffettwa l-għoti tal-marki lill-istudenti.
