If Pulse is not Labour-orientated then I am a flying hippo.

Evarist got one thing right – he changed the grant to a loan.

Same old story, same old story. The rest of the world goes one way, and Malta goes the other.

Stipends are the most obscene of Maltese exceptions, right after divorce (phew, we got that one out of the way). We can see what they’ve led to. I’m all for access to quality education for those who deserve it but: 1) quality education it ain’t, because our scant resources are being spent on stipends and 2) very few of our students deserve it.

When the university population tops 11,000, without an appreciable improvement in the nation’s thinking skills, it’s time to fucking wake up.

You know, if they win I really hope that a party take-over happens a la Margaret Thatcher so maybe they realise that, present it as you wish, it is the Malta Labour Party that will govern Malta, no more and no less.

I knows it a slim chance, but one can dream.

Ungrateful spoilt brat !

I come from the years of numerus clausus, with courses having 12 students in a year, empty university car parks – no students, remember?

I still got my degrees, under my own steam, juggling job and family and studies and paying all the way.

These brats do not know how good they have it.

And I thought students can’t possibly survive without stipends and their lives will be ruined while they pay off their student loans. Go figure.
