L-għalliema u l-istaff akkademiku
Matul is-sena akkademika 2022-2023, l-għalliema u l-istaff akkademiku fl-istituzzjonijiet edukattivi taʼ minn qabel il-primarja sal-livell terzjarju żdiedu bʼ1.0 fil-mija fuq is-sena akkademika taʼ qabel, sabiex laħqu bʼkollox 10,336 (Ċart nru 2, Tabella nru 1). Iż-żieda kienet ir-riżultat ta’ żieda fl-istaff akkademiku fl-edukazzjoni ta’ livell terzjarju (5.0 fil-mija meta mqabbla mas-sena akkademika taʼ qabel).

L-akbar sehem taʼ għalliema kienu nisa bʼ66.0 fil-mija. L-għalliema full-time kienu jammontaw għal 81.8 fil-mija tat-total.

Fil-livell terzjarju, il-persentaġġ tal-istaff akkademiku maskili kien ogħla minn dak femminili u kien jgħodd 61.0 fil-mija (1,581 persuna) (Tabella nru 3). Aktar minn nofs l-għalliema u l-istaff akkademiku full-time kienu jinsabu fl-edukazzjoni sekondarja baxxa, fl-edukazzjoni sekondarja ogħla, u fl-edukazzjoni postsekondarja mhux terzjarja (52.4 fil-mija tal-għalliema u l-istaff akkademiku full-time) (Ċart nru 3).

Methodological Notes
1. Education statistics presented in this news release are processed by the National Statistics Office (NSO) on an annual basis in accordance with European Regulations (EC) 452/2008 and (EU) 912/2013. These regulations establish the basis of information to be collected from educational institutions at all levels of education and all economic sectors. By adhering to these regulations, all education statistics collected and processed by the NSO are comparable to other European countries following the same regulatory standards.
2. This news release includes educational personnel working in institutions providing formal education courses with a minimum duration of one semester of full-time study (or the equivalent in part-time) and that are delivered from Malta. Formal education is an institutionalised, intentional and planned type of education which is provided by public organisations and recognised private bodies. It consists primarily of initial education designed for children and young people before their first entry to the labour market. It also includes other types of education such as vocational, special needs and adult education provided they are recognised as part of the formal education system by the relevant national education authorities.
3. Data is collected as at 31 March of the reference academic year.
4. Source of data collected:
● The Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation (MEYR) is the direct source of administrative data for teaching and non-teaching staff in state and church institutions in the pre-primary till the post-secondary levels of education, and for teaching staff of private schools in the pre-primary till the secondary levels of education.
● Private schools are the direct source of non-teaching staff data from pre-primary to tertiary levels of education and teaching staff for the post-secondary till the tertiary levels of education.
● State schools are the direct source of teaching and non-teaching staff data for post-secondary to tertiary levels of education.
5. During 2024, the NSO has focussed on finetuning the methodology used in the calculation of personnel in State-run institutions in order to address data gaps and enhance the methodology used. The main affect of such enhancements impact namely the classification of non-teaching personnel.
6. Staff members are counted only once in the data collection. If staff are assigned to more than one level or grade, or if they have more than one contract, their numbers are pro-rated according to the contractual hours devoted to each programme based on the intensity, level or grade during the academic year. In those cases where the information is unknown, staff are pro-rated in equal shares to each programme, level or grade to which they are assigned during the reference year.
7. Some institutions do not provide the level of education in which the staff are employed in. For this reason, staff are randomly allocated an ISCED level based on the proportion of students in that particular school.
8. Pupil-teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the number of full-time equivalent pupils and students in each level of education by the number of full-time equivalent teachers at the same level.
9. Age is calculated as at 1 January of the reference academic year. For example, for academic year 2021-2022, age is calculated as at 1 January 2022.
10. Classifications:
● Broad citizenship: The main citizenship group of the person as recorded by the administrative source.
● Education levels are based on ISCED 2011 classification. For the purpose of this news release:
Pre-primary education: ISCED 02 – Kinder 1 and Kinder 2.
Primary education: ISCED 1 – Year 1 to Year 6.
Lower secondary education: ISCED 2 – Year 7-Year 9 (Form 1 to Form 3), the Malta College of Arts, Science and Technology (MCAST), Institute of Tourism Studies (ITS), and public and private institutions at ISCED Level 2.

● International Standard Classification of Education – ISCED 2011
The International Standard Classification of Education is a framework for assembling, compiling, and analysing cross-nationally comparable statistics on education. ISCED belongs to the United Nations International Family of Economic and Social Classifications and is the reference classification for organising education programmes and related qualifications by levels and fields of education. ISCED is designed to serve as a framework to classify educational activities as defined in programmes and the resulting qualifications into internationally agreed categories.
