Both courses are on a part-time basis and the latter is being offered via video-conferencing. In February 2017 the Maltese Department of the University of Malta opened, for the fourth consecutive year, the course leading to the Certificate in Proof Reading. During the same month, the Faculty of Education opened a Postgraduate Certificate in the Teaching of Ethics in Schools. This course is being offered through the videoconferencing system.

Many people on the Inner Hebrides off the north-western coast of Scotland have to travel to the mainland either on a daily or on a weekly basis in order to go to work. The same can be said to islands such as the Isle of Man or the Orkney Islands. The same might also be said for the inhabitants of the Aeolian Islands, off the western coast of nearby Sicily. Gozo is no exception.

Visitors to Cittadella are struck with awe when they see the bulky mass of the fortifications from a distance or when they actually stroll along the narrow winding streets of the old city of Gozo. Cittadella is like a re-discovered treasure, a newly polished pearl that surprises one and all with what it has to offer. This was possible through a long process of thinking, planning and action undertaken by the Ministry for Gozo over the last decade in order to conserve, restore and rehabilitate one of Gozo’s major historic sites and a prime touristic attraction.
