Being a representative of the Gozitan University Group also known as GUG for the Mosta MCAST Institute, I decided to voice my opinions regarding certain issues that have been bugging me and fellow classmates for a while now. As mentioned in one of the previous posts, there are a number of issues with the current layout and system of the school. I was urged to write about the lack of space and organization since last week we were heading to one of our lectures in Art Studio 1 , were this particular unit is held every week. To the student's and the lecturer's surprise we find another lecture being held in the same class. We were surprised as when our lecturer informed the other lecturer that the room is were our lesson is held every Monday he denied it and said that their lecture was also held there every Monday. So not to cause any problems we headed outside and our lecturer was frustrated so he went straight to the secretary’s office to voice his concern yet as always got no where, which made us feel kind of on the same level as this is what usually happens to us when we voice our opinions. Later we were told that two lectures were assigned to the same room by mistake yet this did not only happen once. Week after week we have to waste time looking around the school for an empty classroom since we are still not assigned to one particular class.
I decided to voice my opinions and luckily enough points from what I wrote got published on a local article online. Besides the current issue I also mentioned the ongoing issue of general lack of space, which leads for the only option to leave the school during, break hours or group work sessions. It was shared by many and was surprised by how many people took interest in this issue, which in return made the class feel as if there was hope and something would be done about this. Unfortunately an anonymous speaker from the school's staff denied the facts and stated that the only time lectures are assigned to the same class is when it is intended for both classes to do so to gain different perspectives. Straight up lies to cover up the truth and unfortunately Power from below failed us this time since people with the power to do something about it tend to believe the ones with higher superior.
