Methodological Notes
1. Data used in this News Release is based on information collected by the Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation which was subsequently analysed by NSO.
2. Data was collected by the ELT Council during the period December 2021-February 2022. All local licensed English Language Teaching (ELT) schools operating in 2020 responded to this questionnaire. A full list of ELT schools can be accessed here.
3. Breakdowns by country are based on the students’ citizenship as provided by the student. Thus, figures for foreign citizens are not directly comparable to other tourism figures published by the NSO.
4. In 2021, following disruptions and unprecedented scenarios due to COVID-19, foreign students attended both physical courses in Malta, as well as online courses.
5. For the scope of this release ‘teaching/academic staff’ includes all ELT permit holders. Staff employed with different schools carrying out the same role are counted once.
6. Figures on type of course followed and type of accommodation cannot be compared with data of previous years due to methodological enhancements held in 2020.
7. Definitions:
ELT schools refer to institutions which provide English-related courses for foreign students. More information can be accessed here.
Teaching/Academic staff refer to professional personnel directly involved in teaching students, including teachers, assistant teachers, ELT instructors and other ELT permit holders.
Non-Teaching staff refer to persons employed by educational institutions who have no instructional responsibilities, and do not hold an ELT permit. Examples are school management staff, front office staff, group leaders, administration staff, sales, marketing and reservations staff.
Full-time employment: includes employed persons on a full-time basis.
Part-time employment: includes employed persons whose normal hours are less than those of comparable full-time workers.
Casual employment: includes temporary workers, working irregular hours, who are employed on a part-time basis.
8. Number of student weeks by foreign students is calculated as follows: total number of days divided by seven.
9. Average number of student weeks per student is calculated as follows: total number of weeks divided by total number of students.
