Hi Mandy,
I'm Lisa and i also have a son who is two and there are a wide range of
schools to choose from, the standards of education are very good here, state
schools are also of a high standard if you want your son to fully intergrate and
speak maltese, there are also internation schools specifically for children from
abroad and many private and church run schools, i am still deciding and looking
around for my son, but choice is certainly not a problem. The only thing that i
am concerned about is that they put an awful lot of pressure on kids in school
and thay have exams and lots of homework from a young age, i'm still not sure
if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
As for jobs i had been told that it was difficult to find work here especially
if you are not Maltese, but myself and my husband found work relatively easily,
me as a nurse and he for a gambling software company. Have a look at the
goverment job vacancies website at www.etc.gov.mt they have all the recent
vacancies online, and you can also submit your C.V so that potential employers
can view it. The local newspapers also have a list of job vacancies. Bear in
mind that the wages are a lot lower here, day to day living here is relatively
cheap and utility bills are low but eating out, clothes, cars are about the same
as U.K and in some cases more expensive. As for your husband retiring here i
think that its pretty straightforward to claim your pension here. If theres
anything else you need to ask let me know,
Lisa

Hi, my name is Mandy. I am married with a 2 year old son. We are
seriously considering moving to Malta in the next couple of years. My
husband is a bit older than me and would then be of retiring age.

Has anybody got any advice on how easy it is to do this, the type of
schools available for my son. He will be starting school next year. We
have been to Malta on holiday and love it there, the climate, the
people and the general pace of life. Having become rather dis-
illusioned with the UK we would love to have a change.

I would need a job, I am in clerical/admin work at the moment. I also
have 20 years experience in the UK legal field.

My husband would like a part time job (perhaps in his field of
Chartered Surveyor).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
