The Malta Union of Teachers announced that the meeting held with Prime Minister Robert Abela and Education Minister Justyne Caruana was inconclusive, and that discussions will ensue Friday morning. The strike is still on for tomorrow.
The Thursday evening meeting was held after the first day of a two-day strike came to an end.
The union ordered its members not to turn up to work on Thursday and Friday as schools reopened following Christmas recess after the government refused to move classes online following a spike in coronavirus cases.
On Wednesday, Malta registered 224 new infections making it the sharpest spike in cases since the beginning of the pandemic.
