Times of Malta<\/em> tal-lum, din id-de\u010bi\u017cjoni ttie\u0127det biex titnaqqas it-tbatija ekonomika.<\/a> Je\u017cistu familji f’Malta li jiddependu mid-d\u0127ul ta’ wlied li, g\u0127ax ikunu g\u0127alqu s-16-il sena, it-tkomplija tal-istudji ma tkunx baqg\u0127etx obbligatorja. \u0126amsin sena ilu, familji kienu jib\u017cg\u0127u li jbatu l-\u0121u\u0127 kemm-il darba kienu jonqsu li jibag\u0127tu lil uliedhom ta’ 12-il sena biex ja\u0127ilbulhom il-mog\u0127o\u017c.<\/p>\nRi\u010berka profonda g\u0127andha tikxef ra\u0121uni o\u0127ra g\u0127ala tfal ta’ 16-il sena mhumiex qed jag\u0127\u017clu li jkomplu jistudjaw fid-dinja tal-lum. A\u0127jar aktar flus milli inqas: g\u0127adhom je\u017cistu familji li lill-edukazzjoni ma jag\u0127tuhiex bi\u017c\u017cejjed valur li ti\u0121\u0121ustifika skola full time g\u0127al \u017cmien li jmur lil hinn mill-perijodu obbligatorju li matulu wie\u0127ed jista’ je\u0127el xi multa jekk lil uliedu jonqos li jibg\u0127athom l-iskola. G\u0127ad hawn bosta familji li jidhrilhom familji li l-edukazzjoni terzjarja hi biss \u0127ela ta’ \u017cmien u li jkun aktar jaqbel jekk uliedhom jimpjegaw ru\u0127hom jew ja\u0127dmu fin-negozju tal-familja.<\/p>\n
Jekk dan tassew huwa l-ka\u017c, jidher hawn differenzi bejn is-sentiment li j\u0127ossu studenti ta’ 16-il sena fil-konfront tal-istudju u s-sentiment li j\u0127ossu l-\u0121enituri tag\u0127hom. I\u017c-\u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127 jaf ikunu jridu jkomplu jistudjaw imma jkunu jistg\u0127u jag\u0127mlu dan biss jekk isibu mod kif jikkombinaw l-istudju mad-d\u0127ul ta’ paga.<\/p>\n
M’g\u0127andniex xi ng\u0127idu, il-\u0127las tal-stipendju j\u0121ib mieg\u0127u \u010berti problemi. Mhuwiex mod effi\u010bjenti li bih wie\u0127ed jista’ jinvesti fl-edukazzjoni g\u0127aliex bosta huma dawk li parti ja\u0127luh f’affarijiet li qajla jg\u0127inu lill-istudenti fl-istudji tag\u0127hom. Madankollu huwa attentat biex ittaffi xi ftit mill-problemi li jnaffru li xi studenti milli jkomplu bl-istudji tag\u0127hom: diffikultajiet finanzjarji tal-famiji tag\u0127hom jew differenzi fil-valuri ta\u017c-\u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127 u tal-\u0121enituri tag\u0127hom.<\/p>\n
Il-valur tal-istipendju tant naqas li ma tantx twassal bih. I\u017cda fil-bidunett, meta kien jiswa aktar, l-istipendu kien ta li\u017c-\u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127 livell ta’ awtonomija finanzjarja u kien bi\u017c\u017cejjed biex aktar familji jkunu f’po\u017cizzjoni li jippermettu lil uliedhom biex ikomplu jistudjaw. Kien bi\u017c\u017cejjed biex jippermettilhom jag\u0127mlu l-kapri\u010b\u010b, kif kienu jarawh xi familji, li jkomplu jistudjaw.<\/p>\n
Grazzi g\u0127all-istipendju, in-numru ta’ studenti li jattendu l-Universit\u00e0 sploda ‘l fuq i\u017cda xorta bqajna lura fir-rata ta’ \u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127 li jkomplu jistudjaw wara li jag\u0127lqu s-16-il sena. G\u0127ad hawn wisq studenti li ma jkomplux bit-tag\u0127lim malli dan ma jibqax obbligatorju.<\/p>\n
Il-Junior College qed toffri lill-istudenti g\u0127odda li jista’ jwassal biex titnaqqsilhom il-pressjoni li w\u0127ud minnhom i\u0127ossu biex ma jkomplux jitg\u0127allmu. Madankollu din is-sitwazzjoni mhix issib tarf tal-problema.<\/p>\n
Jidhirli li jkun a\u0127jar li kieku kellna ng\u0127ollu l-et\u00e0 tal-iskola obbligatorja sat-18-il sena biex b’hekk nag\u0127tu sentejn aktar ta’ studju, ta’ tag\u0127lim vokazzjonali u ta’ apprendistat strutturat.<\/p>\n
Ma nistax nifhem kif u g\u0127aliex g\u0127adna no\u0127or\u0121u bl-isku\u017ci tas-seklu l-ie\u0127or biex ni\u0121\u0121ustifikaw il-fatt li \u017cg\u0127a\u017cag\u0127 ta’ 16, 17, 18-il sena mhumiex ikomplu bl-istudji tag\u0127hom fuq ba\u017ci full time. Mhux xieraq li t-tbatija ekonomika ta’ \u010bertu familji nippruvaw insibu tarfha billi n\u0121ieg\u0127lu lil uliedhom ta’ 17-il sena ma jkomplux bl-istudji fuq ba\u017ci full time u dan bil-g\u0127an li jaqilg\u0127u l-flus biex jg\u0127inu l-\u0121enituri u lil \u0127uthom biex ila\u0127\u0127qu mal-ispejje\u017c sal-a\u0127\u0127ar tax-xahar.<\/p>\n
Il-verit\u00e0 hi li sa g\u0127oxrin sena ilu, il-pajji\u017c kellu bi\u017c\u017cejjed flus biex ji\u017cgura li dan ma ji\u0121rix. Meta l-gvern Laburista tal-1997 ried ine\u0127\u0127i l-\u0127las tal-istipendji u jissostitwihom ma’ self ta’ flus g\u0127all-istudenti, kienu qabbdu lil tal-One TV (Super One dak i\u017c-\u017cmien) biex ji\u0121bed filmat ta’ studenti libsin nu\u010b\u010balijiet tax-xemx tad-ditta jew b’mobiles f’idejhom u dan biex jippruvaw ibellg\u0127uha li l-istipendji kienu biss \u0127ela ta’ flus u li g\u0127alhekk il-gvern kellu ra\u0121un li jne\u0127\u0127ihom.<\/p>\n
Jista’ jkun li l-istudenti li setg\u0127u jixtru nu\u010b\u010balijiet tax-xemx tad-ditta kienu se jkomplu jistudjaw xorta wa\u0127da, bl-istipendji jew ming\u0127ajrhom, g\u0127ar-ra\u0121uni li l-\u0121enituri tag\u0127hom kienu komdi bi\u017c\u017cejjed jew kienu jemmnu fil-valur tal-istudju u li, akkost ta’ kollox, ma kinux ser i\u0127alluhom jieqfu mill-istudji tag\u0127hom.<\/p>\n
\u010aertament kien hemm o\u0127rajn li n-nu\u010b\u010balijiet tax-xemx tad-ditta jew il-mobiles (li kienu g\u0127adhom o\u0121\u0121ett rari fl-1997) lanqas biss kienu jo\u0127olmu bihom i\u017cda setg\u0127u biss ikomplu jistudjaw bis-sa\u0127\u0127a tal-fatt li l-istat kien qed jipprovdilhom dak is-sussidju.<\/p>\n
Dak i\u017c-\u017cmien, l-istat kellu l-flus, u issa qed ikollna na\u010b\u010bettaw ir-realt\u00e0 li se jkollna nbiddlu r-regolamenti biex lit-tfal ta’ 16-il sena nippermettulhom jo\u0127or\u0121u ja\u0127dmu g\u0127ax inkella ser ikollhom jieqfu jistudjaw g\u0127al kollox.<\/p>\n
Napprezza li l-ekonomiji jafu jimxu ‘l quddiem u jafu jmorru lura. I\u017cda hu proprju hawn li qed tinkixef il-gidba tas-suppost miraklu ekonomiku li se\u0127\u0127 mill-2013 ‘l hawn. Fl-a\u0127\u0127ar g\u0127axar snin \u0127assarna s-sbu\u0127ija ta’ pajji\u017cna, spi\u010b\u010bajna b’soqfa ji\u0121\u0121arrfu fuq in-nies biex ikun jista’ jinbena bini enormi bieb ma’ bieb mag\u0127na, serqulna l-veduti tal-kampanja u tal-ba\u0127ar b’appartamenti g\u0127oljin li \u0127add ma jg\u0127ix fihom, \u0127ammi\u0121na isem pajji\u017cna bil-\u0127asil tal-flus tal-kriminali, \u017cidna l-popolazzjoni bi kwa\u017ci terz billi \u0121ibna \u0127addiema barranin. Dan kollu f’isem l-aqwa \u017cmien g\u0127al kul\u0127add.<\/p>\n
G\u0127amilna dan kollu. I\u017cda l-flus fejn spi\u010b\u010baw? G\u0127aliex g\u0127ad hawn tant inugwaljanzi? G\u0127aliex g\u0127ad hawn familji li, min\u0127abba nuqqas ta’ finanzi, lil uliedhom mhumiex jippermettulhom iqattg\u0127u \u017cg\u0127o\u017cithom jistudjaw, jinnamraw, jo\u0127or\u0121u mal-\u0127bieb u jikbru? G\u0127aliex il-gvern tag\u0127na mhuwiex jg\u0127in lil dawk l-istudenti li m’g\u0127andhomx mezzi finanzjarji biex ikomplu jistudjaw? G\u0127aliex il-gvern, flok investa fl-edukazzjoni tul dawn l-a\u0127\u0127ar g\u0127axar snin, wasal biex jaqleb tag\u0127lim full time g\u0127al part time u dan g\u0127ar-ra\u0121uni li l-flus qed imorru fil-bwiet tal-miljunarji?<\/p>\n
Min jista’ jispjega g\u0127ala l-miraklu ekonomiku ta’ Muscat, l-aqwa \u017cmien, tant faqqarna li m’a\u0127niex nippermettu lil uliedna jgawdu l-esperjenza edukattiva tajba g\u0127allinqas daqs kemm kienet (g\u0127ax ma nazzardax ng\u0127id a\u0127jar minn) tal-\u0121enerazzjoni tag\u0127na?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
