The Ministry for Education, Sport, Youth, Research and Innovation is responsible for Education in Malta. Having completed compulsory schooling at the age of 16, young people have the option to further their education in post-secondary institutions, including Vocational and Training Courses before engaging in tertiary education.

Currently, there is a general effort to move away from the one size fits all education to an approach that is more student-centered and caters to the specific learning needs of the individual.
