It is, therefore, necessary for schools preparing students for this examination to provide courses which afford insights into the different disciplines, making the student aware of their strengths and limitations. The syllabus was drawn up on the assumption that focusing only on the special fields covered by Advanced Level subjects promoted certain habits of mind to the exclusion of others and, if the School was to foster in our students a greater flexibility in adapting to changing patterns of work and life in a post-industrial age, it should afford them opportunities of going beyond the traditional limits of particular disciplines and gaining insight into different systems of knowledge. 1987-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/24222 Title: Analizi tal-poezija 'Hitan tas-Sejjieh' ta' Marjanu Vella Abstract: A critical analysis of Marjanu Vella's poem Hitan tas-Sejjieh. 1987-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/24221 Title: Ibn Hauqal and tenth-century Malta Abstract: Sources for the history of Malta during the century and a half following the Muslim conquest of 870 are largely lacking, but two sections in the work of the geographer Ibn Hauqal, who visited Sicily at some time between 960 and 980, may stimulate reconsiderations of certain problems in Maltese historiography, though they can scarcely provide solutions since one passage seems unreliable while the other is clearly exaggerated and does not refer to Malta. 1987-01-01T00:00:00Z
