Teaching Through Transition

Malta is changing quickly. Its economy is evolving, its population is growing, its classrooms are becoming more diverse, and the demands placed on schools are more complex than ever before. In Teaching Through Transition, Etienne Psaila argues that education can no longer be treated as a secondary policy concern or a support service to national development. It is the place where Malta's future will be won or lost.

Drawing together questions of skills, migration, inclusion, inequality, curriculum, teacher workload, leadership and long-term strategy, this book offers a clear and rigorous examination of what Malta's education system is now being asked to carry. It moves beyond slogans and easy reform language to ask tougher questions: are schools truly prepared for the Malta of 2050, are teachers being given the support they need, and can the system still deliver both excellence and fairness in a period of rapid change?

Thoughtful, evidence-informed and sharply focused on the realities of schooling, Teaching Through Transition is essential reading for educators, school leaders, policymakers, parents and anyone concerned with Malta's social and economic future.
