Maltese Education: Why It’s an Attraction for Immigrant Families, Especially Vietnamese
In recent years, Malta has emerged as a bright star on the world education map. With a high-quality education system, a safe and friendly living environment, this small island nation is attracting a large number of immigrant families, especially from Vietnam. The rapid growth of the Vietnamese community in Malta has clearly demonstrated the undeniable attraction of education here.

1. Free public education system
Malta provides free public education from kindergarten to secondary school for children residing here, including the children of settlers. According to data from Malta’s Ministry of Education, more than 60% of school-age students in the country attend public schools, ensuring free access to comprehensive education. This is a great advantage for immigrant families, especially Vietnamese people who want their children to access advanced education without having to bear a large financial burden.
2. Quality and affordable international education
Malta has a variety of international schools and private schools, giving students access to an international standard curriculum. These schools offer an education system from the British Curriculum to the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. The cost of studying at international schools ranges from 4,000 to 10,000 EUR per year, which is relatively reasonable compared to other European countries such as France, Germany or the UK, where international tuition fees can be up to 20,000 EUR or more.
Vietnamese families, when settling in Malta, will benefit from modern curricula that focus on developing soft skills, creativity, and critical thinking – key factors that help children compete in an international environment.
3. College Tuition and Scholarship Opportunities
Malta is one of the countries with the most affordable university tuition fees in Europe, especially for students who are immigrants and EU countries. International students outside the EU, including Vietnam, may have to pay higher tuition fees, but still lower than many other developed countries. According to the University of Malta, tuition fees for international students range from EUR 7,500 to EUR 10,000 per year, while EU students are either exempt from tuition fees or have to pay very low fees.
In addition, many scholarship and financial aid opportunities are offered to outstanding students and immigrant families. The Maltese government also provides strong support to students with scholarship programs that encourage research and development in important academic fields.
4. Multilingual education system
Malta is a bilingual country, with both English and Maltese spoken in the education system. This is a great advantage for Vietnamese families, when their children can learn and practice English from an early age, opening up many opportunities for development later. According to statistics from the European Union (EU), about 90% of students in Malta are fluent in English, making it easy for children to integrate and learn in an international environment.
5. Opportunities to grow and transfer to the world’s top universities
Another advantage of the Maltese education system is its international academic programs and the quality of education that makes it easy for students to transfer to the world’s top universities. The curriculum in Malta is widely recognized, allowing students to enroll in prestigious universities in the UK, USA, Australia, and Europe.
According to statistics, more than 80% of University of Malta graduates have gone on to study and work in developed countries, with prominent disciplines such as medicine, law, information technology and engineering.
6. Easy immigration and immigration assistance programs
Malta offers attractive immigration programs such as the Malta Settlement Programme (MPRP), which allows families to invest in immigration based on their investment in real estate and government contributions. This makes the settlement process easier, and their children have immediate access to the country’s advanced education system.
In addition, Malta has a thriving international community, with many support programs for newcomers, including Vietnamese families. Schools and governments both have programs to help immigrant children integrate quickly into their new lives.
7. Reasonable living expenses
Compared to many other European countries, the cost of living in Malta is relatively reasonable. Families can live comfortably with monthly living expenses ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 EUR, including rent, food, and utilities. This helps reduce the financial pressure on Vietnamese families when moving here.
Conclude
With a developed education system, reasonable costs, and a diverse international environment, Malta is becoming an ideal destination for Vietnamese families who wish to settle down and give their children the best education. Educational incentives, as well as opportunities for career development and postgraduate study, make Malta an attractive destination for those looking for a bright future in Europe.
