Press Release: Licensed education institutions reaffirm their commitment to maintaining high standards of quality assurance and international recognition
13 May 2025
The Malta Chamber of SMEs, representing a number of licensed private education institutions, refers to the recent article published by the Times of Malta, 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. The licensed educational institutions remain committed to delivering trusted, reputable, and competitive educational services both locally and abroad. 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 is actively liaising with MFHEA and the Government on behalf of the licensed education providers to ensure that the sector is safeguarded, that confidence is maintained, that licensed institutions are included in the decision making process and are kept informed on any developments.
The SME Chamber will continue to act as a bridge between educational institutions, regulatory bodies, and policymakers to support constructive dialogue and improved outcomes. We also remain committed to advocating for a regulatory environment that reinforces Malta’s reputation as a hub of quality education.
