Labour leader Joseph Muscat and his wife Michelle meet with the Mifsud family.
Labour leader Joseph Muscat this evening met the Mifsud family from Kalkara and explained to them how their lives would improve if a Labour government were elected to power.
Accompanies by his wife Michelle, Muscat met Ernest and Marika Mifsud parents of two boys, aged 7 and 11.
The father joked with Muscat how Labour's proposal to give Year IV students a tablet would lead to a squabble between his sons as only one would be eligible for the tablet.
Muscat joined the light hearted moment but took the opportunity to explain the benefits that the tablet would do to as one of the steps to fight IT literacy.
He also went on to explain how a Labour government would extend the Klabb 3-16 - the government-run after school service - which would allow women to return to work.

The father should have thought his offsprings to SHARE, then there would be no problem.

No fenea. It only demonstrates that what Gonzi just says what sounds good, Muscat can and will do it better.

I wish to congratulate this family on making ends meet and having a state of the art kitchen.

Joseph Muscat is a descent family man; so is Dr Gonzi, but the political language is different.
Dr Gonzi conveniently forgets that most of Maltese families have different political opinions, and yet, his body language and his political vocabulary, is divisive and aggressive vis a' vis Pl and, towards Muscat in particular.
Net TV mirrors this divisive view: a view of the past which continue to divide families because GonziPN thrives from this family divisions!

Yes we do need more explanation as to how effective these tablets would be at improving childrens skills in IT.
At face value I think that this proposal would be more of a distraction in the classroom, rather than a help.
My experience with children of this age bracket is that they use their tablets just to download and play games, no more no less, and the adults who buy such expensive toys know exactly why they get them for their kids, its the only way to keep their children absorbed in something for a lenght of time, hence, peace and quiet for their carers.
This would be such a waste of tax payers money!
