The Malta Chamber of SMEs, representing a number of licensed private education institutions, refers to the recent articles published on Monday (yesterday) regarding the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) and its unsuccessful admission to the European Quality Assurance Register for Higher Education (EQAR).

“Irrespective of the review outcome, licensed private education institutions in Malta continue to operate in full compliance with national regulations, while upholding strong standards of quality assurance, academic credibility, and international recognition,” read a statement by the Chamber of SMEs.

The licensed educational institutions remain committed to delivering “trusted, reputable, and competitive educational services both locally and abroad,” it said, adding that the educational providers also recognise the efforts being made by the MFHEA to strengthen internal processes and implement the recommendations made during the external review.

The Malta Chamber of SMEs concluded that it is actively liaising with MFHEA and the Government on behalf of the licensed education providers to ensure that the sector is safeguarded, confidence is maintained, and licensed institutions are included in the decision making process.
