Two local law students have been elected to two committees within ESIB, The National Unions of Students in Europe during the organisation’s 51st Board Meeting in Paris.
Anthony F. Camilleri from Nadur was re-elected on ESIB’s Committee on the Commodification of Education (CoCo), garnering the joint highest amount of votes cast, whilst Matthew Tabone from Mdina was elected onto ESIB’s Executive Committee (EC).
Six students and a Chairperson from around Europe are elected to the EC whilst five are elected to the CoCo.
The ESIB has existed since 1982 to promote the educational, social, economic and cultural interests of students at the European level, and towards all relevant organisations and institutions. ESIB currently has 48 member organisations from 36 countries, representing over 10 million students across Europe.
Both Mr Tabone and Mr Camilleri, have extensive experience representing students on a national and international level. Mr Camilleri, 23, was first elected as Education Commissioner of the Kunsill Studenti Universitarji (KSU) in 2003, a post he held for 2 years before being elected President of the organisation. Earlier this year he was also elected onto ESIB’s Commodification of Education Committee.
Mr Tabone, 22, started his involvement in student organisations as Editor of Insite, the National Student University Newspaper after which he was elected as President of the same organisation. Following his stint in student media Mr Tabone was elected as PRO of KSU. He has also held positions on various KSU sub-committees and within other student organisations.
Talking about their new roles, the two said they were excited to face the challenges their positions offered and very proud to continue Maltese students’ commitment and contribution to the European Student movement.
Mr Camilleri and Mr Tabone were both nominated by KSU, which has been a member of ESIB since 1986. In a joint statement they thanked the KSU executive for their support in particular KSU’s International Officers Veronique Muscat and Christine Murphy. They also reserved special praise for outgoing ESIB Chairperson Dr Justin Fenech, who was the first-ever Maltese Chairperson of ESIB.
