Abstract: | This study analyzes the problems encountered in the Maltese educational system, from a Gozitan perspective. It investigates which types of discrimination Gozitan students face during their educational years that are from the primary till the tertiary level, to their place of work. It also tries to find out the hidden implications that such discrimination leaves on the students who because of their gender, class and locality, experience such intolerance. It is argued that the educational system is a system where everyone is rewarded according to his/her own merit. However, such dissertation through its analysis tries to show whether this is the case among Gozitan students. |
