Overview

Sagħtar was first published in 1971, having been started by the "Moviment Qawmien Letterarju". In 1976, it was handed to the Malta Union of Teachers (MUT). The final issue of Sagħtar was published in December 2015, and the printed version of the magazine is to be discontinued due to high printing costs. The MUT plans to decide on the future of the magazine later on.[1]

Many Maltese schools used Sagħtar as part of a Maltese lesson. Indeed, it was used both to encourage students to read Maltese, and to teach students about certain topics which may be featured in that particular edition.
