SECRETARIAT FOR CATHOLIC EDUCATION

The Secretariat for Catholic Education within the Archdiocese of Malta provides curricular and psycho-social support to over forty Catholic Church schools ranging from kindergarten to post-secondary levels. Its offices, located very close to the Archbishop’s Curia in Floriana, provide a crucial point of reference for Church schools and an important link to the Education Department at the Ministry for Education and Employment. Another key role of the Secretariat is the execution and monitoring of the admission procedures for students into Catholic Church schools which fall within its remit, as per the Holy See-Republic of Malta agreement of 1991. The Secretariat works closely with the Church School Association (CSA) on common issues pertaining to the overall administration of Church schools.
