This guy’s analysis (call it whatever one deems fit) isn’t about the performance of the education sector in Malta, neither about the degree or type of job Silvio has….FYI it is about the economy and how the budget will affect it. (at least that was his target). So for heaven’s sake talk and analyse the substantive of his anlaysis not some word he totally got wrong…for example the fact that we are still talking about a deficit in our economy, when come March 2008 Gonzi said that in 2010 we’ll be talking about a Surplus…please don’t argue the mcuh invalid argument that the international scene ruined the govt’s hopes. in 2008 the recession was already showing its true colors, and it is the govt’s duty to forecast these events before an election and before proposing stuff….a Uni student speaking over here..and yes he is a lecturer of 1st years Bcom…yes I did my homework ;)

Visiting lecturer – basically filling in some hours a week – visiting lecturers are not appointed by senate (so do not have a university appointment).

And without a Ph.D. one is really an assistant lecture – so in this case, he should have signed as “visiting assistant lecturer”.

Apologies – did not mean to shout. Just copied the name of the faculty directly from the UOM website and this is in caps.

I remember contentious debates in the 1960s all about who did or didn’t put up or down the price of a ton of skalora by a halfpenny. They probably used to eat the stuff themselves.
