Human Capital Development. Government recognises that educational attainment is a key determinant to employability and in this regard it is committed to invest in human capital development through education and training which are the major drivers in achieving social and economic objectives173. Statistics show that in 2012, the employment rate in Malta ranged from 47.9% for individuals with lower than upper-secondary and post- secondary education; to 67.4% for persons with upper-secondary and post-secondary education, and to 86.7% for those with tertiary attainment level. Profiling of the early school leavers (ESL) in 2012, also gives a good indication of the importance of education attainment vis-à-vis employment related prospects. In fact, 31.4% of the ESLs in 2012 were not in employment.174 This calls for further efforts to direct ESI funds to ensure that every individual has the potential to acquire educational attainment levels which match the needs of the labour market. Throughout the years, Government has invested heavily in the educational sector. Reform in the education services has been ongoing with the main changes revolving around elimination of streaming, the introduction of benchmarking tests (primarily having a diagnostic function), introduction of the middle school concept, and a pilot co-education system in secondary schools, all with the aim to smoothen the transition from primary to secondary education, whilst ensuring a more successful secondary cycle of education. Such reforms were complemented by investment in the facilities and infrastructure mainly financed through EU funds, comprising both compulsory education schools and investment directed towards higher-education institutions. The latter offer hundreds of undergraduate programmes in a relatively large number of disciplines, including PhD programmes.
