                                   I graduated in Accountancy way back in 1997. More than twenty years later I decided
                                   to follow a hidden dream and start a new career as a lecturer in a vocational institution,
                                   making it necessary that I further my knowledge at Master level in the area of Education.      Following a B.Ed in Primary Education, was always my dream. The Institute for Education

                                   secondary education, and specific modules relating to one’s area of specialisation, which      help of all the Lecturers. IfE, really practices what they preach and lectures within the

                                   development. I like the fact that in the second year we get to choose electives, as this       applying for this degree. Lecturers are very well prepared and meet each and everyone’s

                                   building a good network among educators. The lectures are in the afternoons, and               Education deserves the highest praise when it comes to support. Compared to other
                                   they are most convenient for those who work school hours. The staff at the Institute           Institutions I have studied at, I would surely recommend the IfE overall.
                                   follow us professionally throughout our course, and they assist us whenever possible.
                                   We regularly receive information about workshops, talks or online seminars which we            ALTHEA SCICLUNA
