| Abstract: | The origins and development of Malta's system of elementary education is a legacy of its colonial past. For many years after it had become a British protectorate in 1800, the civil commissioners were indifferent to the educational needs of the masses and the first attempts at introducing elementary education were made by charitable individuals and groups like the Normal School Society which opened schools in the capital, Valletta, and the three cities in 1819 (Zammit Mangion, 1951). It was only after the recommendations made by the Royal Commission in 1838 (Austen/Lewis, 1839) that the State began to assume responsibility for the education of the masses of the poor. |
