Particular emphasis is also placed on promoting inclusive and accessible education, addressing the needs of learners from diverse backgrounds, and exchanging experiences and best practices to strengthen educational outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minister Byron Camilleri welcomed the agreement as an important step towards further strengthening the long standing relations between Malta and Luxembourg, founded on shared European values \u200b\u200band a common commitment to educational development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Education is one of the most important investments we can make in our country&#8217;s future. Through this agreement, Malta and Luxembourg are taking another step towards strengthening our education systems by sharing knowledge, experiences and innovative practices. Our objective is to ensure that international cooperation translates into tangible opportunities and better educational experiences for our learners and educators,&#8221; Minister Camilleri stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister emphasized that cooperation between countries provides valuable opportunities to learn from different educational approaches, address common challenges and introduce practices that respond to the evolving needs of learners and society. He thanked Minister Claude Meisch for Luxembourg&#8217;s constructive engagement and expressed his commitment to ensuring that the Memorandum leads to meaningful and practical collaboration between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing took place during Minister Camilleri&#8217;s first participation in an EU Education Ministers&#8217; meeting since assuming responsibility for the education and sport portfolio. The Informal Meeting brought together Education Ministers from across the European Union to discuss common challenges and priorities, with particular attention to strengthening basic skills and increasing participation in lifelong learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the discussions, Minister Camilleri outlined Malta&#8217;s commitment to improving educational outcomes through early intervention, targeted support for learners, and continued investment in the professional development of educators. Referring to Malta&#8217;s National Education Strategy 2024\u20132030, the Minister emphasized the importance of strengthening literacy, numeracy and digital competences, while ensuring that every learner is provided with the necessary support to succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Minister also highlighted Malta&#8217;s ongoing efforts to make lifelong learning more accessible through flexible educational pathways, upskilling and reskilling opportunities, and stronger collaboration between educational institutions and industry. He reiterated that education must remain inclusive and responsive to changing social and economic realities, providing individuals with opportunities to continue developing their skills throughout their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the margins of the meeting, Minister Camilleri also had a short meeting with the European Commission&#8217;s Executive Vice-President for Social Rights and Skills, Quality Jobs and Preparedness, Roxana M\u00eenzatu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout his participation, Minister Camilleri also had the opportunity to engage with his fellow Education Ministers from various EU Member States, establishing new working relationships and exchanging perspectives on shared educational priorities and opportunities for further collaboration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div><p id=\"pvc_stats_60665\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"60665\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.0\" viewBox=\"0 0 502 315\" preserveAspectRatio=\"xMidYMid meet\"><g transform=\"translate(0,332) scale(0.1,-0.1)\" fill=\"\" stroke=\"none\"><path d=\"M2394 3279 l-29 -30 -3 -207 c-2 -182 0 -211 15 -242 39 -76 157 -76 196 0 15 31 17 60 15 243 l-3 209 -33 29 c-26 23 -41 29 -80 29 -41 0 -53 -5 -78 -31z\"\/><path d=\"M3085 3251 c-45 -19 -58 -50 -96 -229 -47 -217 -49 -260 -13 -295 52 -53 146 -42 177 20 16 31 87 366 87 410 0 70 -86 122 -155 94z\"\/><path d=\"M1751 3234 c-13 -9 -29 -31 -37 -50 -12 -29 -10 -49 21 -204 19 -94 39 -189 45 -210 14 -50 54 -80 110 -80 34 0 48 6 76 34 21 21 34 44 34 59 0 14 -18 113 -40 219 -37 178 -43 195 -70 221 -36 32 -101 37 -139 11z\"\/><path d=\"M1163 3073 c-36 -7 -73 -59 -73 -102 0 -56 133 -378 171 -413 34 -32 83 -37 129 -13 70 36 67 87 -16 290 -86 209 -89 214 -129 231 -35 14 -42 15 -82 7z\"\/><path d=\"M3689 3066 c-15 -9 -33 -30 -42 -48 -48 -103 -147 -355 -147 -375 0 -98 131 -148 192 -74 13 15 57 108 97 206 80 196 84 226 37 273 -30 30 -99 39 -137 18z\"\/><path d=\"M583 2784 c-38 -19 -67 -74 -58 -113 9 -42 211 -354 242 -373 16 -10 45 -18 66 -18 51 0 107 52 107 100 0 39 -1 41 -124 234 -80 126 -108 162 -133 173 -41 17 -61 16 -100 -3z\"\/><path d=\"M4250 2784 c-14 -9 -74 -91 -133 -183 -95 -150 -107 -173 -107 -213 0 -55 33 -94 87 -104 67 -13 90 8 211 198 130 202 137 225 78 284 -27 27 -42 34 -72 34 -22 0 -50 -8 -64 -16z\"\/><path d=\"M2275 2693 c-553 -48 -1095 -270 -1585 -649 -135 -104 -459 -423 -483 -476 -23 -49 -22 -139 2 -186 73 -142 361 -457 571 -626 285 -228 642 -407 990 -497 242 -63 336 -73 660 -74 310 0 370 5 595 52 535 111 1045 392 1455 803 122 121 250 273 275 326 19 41 19 137 0 174 -41 79 -309 363 -465 492 -447 370 -946 591 -1479 653 -113 14 -422 18 -536 8z m395 -428 c171 -34 330 -124 456 -258 112 -119 167 -219 211 -378 27 -96 24 -300 -5 -401 -72 -255 -236 -447 -474 -557 -132 -62 -201 -76 -368 -76 -167 0 -236 14 -368 76 -213 98 -373 271 -451 485 -162 444 86 934 547 1084 153 49 292 57 452 25z m909 -232 c222 -123 408 -262 593 -441 76 -74 138 -139 138 -144 0 -16 -233 -242 -330 -319 -155 -123 -309 -223 -461 -299 l-81 -41 32 46 c18 26 49 83 70 128 143 306 141 649 -6 957 -25 52 -61 116 -79 142 l-34 47 45 -20 c26 -10 76 -36 113 -56z m-2057 25 c-40 -58 -105 -190 -130 -263 -110 -324 -59 -707 132 -981 25 -35 42 -64 37 -64 -19 0 -241 119 -326 174 -188 122 -406 314 -532 468 l-58 71 108 103 c185 178 428 349 672 473 66 33 121 60 123 61 2 0 -10 -19 -26 -42z\"\/><path d=\"M2375 1950 c-198 -44 -350 -190 -395 -379 -18 -76 -8 -221 19 -290 114 -284 457 -406 731 -260 98 52 188 154 231 260 27 69 37 214 19 290 -38 163 -166 304 -326 360 -67 23 -215 33 -279 19z\"\/><\/g><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"http:\/\/livenewsmalta.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p><div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Malta and Luxembourg agree to strengthen cooperation in education Malta and Luxembourg have strengthened their bilateral relations in the field of education through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aimed at enhancing cooperation, facilitating the exchange of expertise and promoting new opportunities for collaboration between educational institutions in both countries.
