The Research Unit,
within the Directorate for Research, Lifelong Learning and Employability
receives and processes requests for data and information for matters falling
within the remit of the Ministry for Education.
Authorisation
Researchers may use any
data and information which is publicly available without seeking MFED permission.
Researchers requiring
data and information, which is not publicly available, are to seek access to
and permission to use such data and information through the MFED Research Unit.
This includes researchers who have access to data and information by virtue of
their employment, as these are only authorised to use that data for the purpose
of their employment, and not for academic work.
The researcher is
authorised to use the data provided only for the research for which
authorisation had been granted. When the research is finalised, the data must
be deleted.
Researchers who wish to
extend the scope of utility of their data are required to request such
extension by sending an email to researchandinnovation@ilearn.edu.mt.

requests within two weeks of receipt of the request, some requests require more
