The Malta Union of Teachers (MUT) is objecting strongly to a communication that is being circulated in schools and produced by a unit within the Education Ministry regarding a bomb threat search procedure in schools.
"The communication states that the Head of School needs to appoint a 'search team' to search for bombs in schools. This is unheard of and surely MUT will not accept that educators go to search for bombs in schools during a bomb scare," the union said.
The Union has already stated that Monday's bomb scare in multiple schools exposed the inefficiency of authorities in dealing with such situations. "The solution is to address those inefficiencies and not to expose educators to risks by looking for explosive devices in schools. The MUT is directing all Heads of Schools and educators to ignore the said communication."
