With six weeks to go on their term, sixth form students who attend private and Church-run schools are pleading with authorities to allow them to return to physical schooling, as active COVID-19 case numbers continue to drop. Students who spoke to Times of Malta expressed frustration, claiming they have been forgotten and that their education and well-being is being sidelined. Their reaction was sparked after a letter to health authorities signed by the student councils of three post-secondary institutions, asking for sixth formers to be allowed to finish out the term, was not acted upon. The term ends on June 25.
