As in previous years, the Office of the Ombudsman, participated in the KSU Freshers’ Week at the University of Malta which this year was held between the 4 and 8 October.

The presence of the Office of the Ombudsman on campus was aimed at increasing the institution’s visibility with students and academic staff.

During Freshers’ Week students had the opportunity to acquaint themselves more with the role and functions of the Ombudsman and of the Commissioner for Education and to enquire about the services offered by the Office of the Ombudsman. Information, publications and other handouts were distributed to the students and academic staff who visited the stand.

The Commissioner for Education, Chief Justice Emeritus Vincent De Gaetano, visited the stand of the Office of the Ombudsman.
