🇲🇹Nixtiequ ninfurmaw li l-protesta li ser issir nhar il-Ġimgħa, 11 ta’ Ottubru f’MCAST, mhix organizzata minn KSM (Kunsill Studenti MCAST).
Dan l-avveniment huwa protesta indipendenti organizzata minn studenti individwali. Filwaqt li KSM jappoġġja d-dritt tal-istudenti li jesprimu l-opinjonijiet u t-tħassib tagħhom, ma għandna l-ebda rabta ma' din l-azzjoni partikolari.
Il-prijorità tagħna tibqa’ li nippromwovu l-aħjar interessi tal-istudenti permezz ta’ djalogu kostruttiv u kollaborazzjoni mal-awtoritajiet relevanti.
Grazzi tal-fehim tagħkom.

On Monday, members of KSM, as well as other student activists protested outside Parliament to express their frustration with the ongoing disruptions of their examinations and withholding of exam marks.
Prime Minister Robert Abela arrived to meet with us and agreed to have a discussion on the way forward and assured us that he will help the students with this situation. We are grateful and would like to thank the Prime Minister for meeting and discussing with us in order to find a swift solution to the situation.
Until every MCAST student is no longer affected by these directives, KSM will continue to fight and advocate for their rights to their examination results and education without limits.
