‘Launching of the Lifelong Learning for Women’s Empowerment’

I was at the launching of the lifelong Learning for women’s Empowerment, held at The Link, Hotel, Ebène. I warmly welcome the initiative by my colleague the Hon Minister of Gender Equality, Child Development and Family Welfare in collaboration with all the stakeholders, specially  the VCILT (Virtual Centre for Innovative Learning Technologies) of the University of Mauritius, who have dedicated much effort towards this project which aims at  increasing importance of lifelong learning in entrepreneurship for economic Development and using technology as a driver for learning and knowledge dissemination, at a time where everyone is a user of a mobile phone and internet is becoming more widespread. In implementing our vision for women’s development, we must seek the collaboration of local, regional and international partners.  We must encourage all sectors of society to work together to achieve the development of our society in an inclusive manner. I am fully confident that my Ministry and the efforts of the Ministry of Gender Equality, Child Development and Family Welfare will be working in parallel to support the agenda. I thank again the Ministry of Gender Equality, Child Development and Family Welfare and the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) for their support in driving Life Long Learning in Mauritius.
