The state is responsible for promoting education and instruction and ensuring universal access to education for all Maltese citizens the existence of a system of schools and institutions accessible to all Maltese citizens. The objectives of education in Malta include intellectual and moral development and the preparation of every citizen to contribute productively to the national economy. Although Maltese citizens had access to education during the Arab administration of 870 to 1090, the arrival of a number of religious orders in the following four centuries brought religious-based education to the island for wealthy families. The arrival of the <a href="/wiki/Knights_Hospitaller" title="Knights Hospitaller">Knights Hospitaller</a> saw the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Malta" title="University of Malta">University of Malta</a>, around which a number of primary, secondary and post-secondary institutions were established. Education in Malta has been universally available at the primary level since the ejection of the Knights Hospitaller by the French in 1798, when state-funded elementary schooling was established. In 1878, English replaced Italian as the primary language of instruction, and education was made compulsory in 1946 in response to a number of children not attending school due to poverty between World Wars One and Two. The age at which education became compulsory was lowered to five years in 1988 </p><p>Malta's educational system is divided into four stages: pre-primary (ages 3–5), primary (ages 5–11), secondary (ages 11–16) and tertiary. Pre-primary education is optional but fully funded by the state. In their last ten years of primary education, students are placed on tracks based on educational attainment, and at the age of eleven, students sit an <a href="/wiki/Eleven_plus_exam" class="mw-redirect" title="Eleven plus exam">eleven plus examination</a> to eliminate a student's secondary schooling direction. Success in the eleven plus exam places a student in a junior lyceum - a prestigious secondary school - while mediocre performance or not sitting the examination places a student in a less competitive secondary school. Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) examinations are taken at age 16, and matriculation examinations are taken at age 18 to determine university entrance eligibility. In 2008, 26,711 primary students, 25,793 secondary students, 5,719 post-secondary students, 9,472 tertiary students and 6,268 vocational students were enrolled in educational courses in Malta. Approximately 30 per cent of Malta's primary and secondary school students are enrolled in private schools, most of which are operated by the Catholic Church. Malta's highest post-secondary institution is the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Malta" title="University of Malta">University of Malta</a>, which has operated since 1552. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Education_in_Malta&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sacra_Infermeria_hospital_medical_school_Malta.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="monumental stone building lit by floodlights at night" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Sacra_Infermeria_hospital_medical_school_Malta.jpg/220px-Sacra_Infermeria_hospital_medical_school_Malta.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="155" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Sacra_Infermeria_hospital_medical_school_Malta.jpg/330px-Sacra_Infermeria_hospital_medical_school_Malta.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ad/Sacra_Infermeria_hospital_medical_school_Malta.jpg/440px-Sacra_Infermeria_hospital_medical_school_Malta.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1279" data-file-height="899" /></a><figcaption>The historic Sacra Infermeria hospital, original site of the medieval University of Malta's medical school, now operates as the Mediterranean Conference Center.</figcaption></figure> <p>While education in Malta dates back to the period of Arab rule between 870 and 1090 through the introduction of <a href="/wiki/Arabic_numerals" title="Arabic numerals">Arabic numerals</a>, the arrival of the <a href="/wiki/Franciscan" class="mw-redirect" title="Franciscan">Franciscans</a> in 1350, the <a href="/wiki/Carmelite" class="mw-redirect" title="Carmelite">Carmelites</a> in 1418, the <a href="/wiki/Dominican_Order" title="Dominican Order">Dominican Order</a> in 1450, the <a href="/wiki/Augustinians" title="Augustinians">Augustinians</a> in 1460 and the <a href="/wiki/Friars_Minor" class="mw-redirect" title="Friars Minor">Friars Minor</a> in 1492 brought religious-based education to the island.

In 1592, the Collegium Melitense (what was to become the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Malta" title="University of Malta">University of Malta</a>) was established by the <a href="/wiki/Society_of_Jesus" class="mw-redirect" title="Society of Jesus">Society of Jesus</a> as a result of a direct order from <a href="/w/index.php?title=Clements_VIII&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Clements VIII (page does not exist)">Pope Clements VIII</a>, and around this institution a number of others flourished, including a grammar school, a preparatory school and institutions for the study of <a href="/wiki/Cartography" title="Cartography">cartography</a>, <a href="/wiki/Naval_architecture" title="Naval architecture">naval architecture</a> and navigation. In addition to public options, it was possible to hire private tutors in a number of different areas, including accounting, philosophy, navigation and languages.
