| The Minister of Education and National Culture, the Hon. Evarist | Bartolo, this morning had a very positive meeting with a high level delegation from the Malta Union of Teachers (M.U.T.). |
| During the discussion the Minister outlined the initiatives | presently in hand in the Education Sector. |
These include:

| ii. The creation of a pool of teachers wishing to be considered for | part time employment according to existing needs. This scheme is particularly earmarked for ex-teachers/housewives, retired teachers etc. |
