“Caravane de la Science” - Sir Leckraz Teelock SSS
I was at an Interactive Session on the occasion of the
“Caravane de la Science” visiting Sir Leckraz Teelock SSS, Flacq. It gives me
an immense pleasure when I see students and professionals organising and
attending such events that will allow them to increase their knowledge in
science which is in fact very important for the development of our young and
talented scientific minds. My sincere thanks go to the Ministry of Education
and Human Resources, the Rajiv Gandhi Science Centre, the Sir Leckraz Teelock
SSS and all stakeholders. I would also like to impress upon the rectors and
teachers to motivate their students to participate in such kind of activities. I
wish all students all the best as they pursue their passion in Science and
Technology. I am confident that they will rise to meet the challenge and be a
significant part of our nation’s human capital to realize a prosperous and
vibrant nation.
‘Visit of delegation from Middlesex University'
“Caravane de la Science” at Sir Abdool Raman Osman State College Phoenix’
I was at an Interactive
Session on the occasion of the “Caravane de la Science” visiting Sir Abdool
Raman Osman State College. The main benefit of this programme is to increase
awareness and understanding among the community on the important role that
Science and Technology plays in our life and hence aiming at a scientifically
literate country. My sincere thanks go to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources,
Sir Abdool Raman Osman State College and all stakeholders. I would also like to
impress upon the rectors and teachers to motivate their students to participate
in such kind of activities. I wish all the students all the best as they pursue
their passion in Science and Technology. I am confident that they will rise to
meet the challenge and be a significant part of our nation’s human capital to
realize a prosperous and vibrant nation.
‘Workshop on the implementation status of the “Guidelines for student charter in post-secondary educational institutions”’
I proceeded to the launching of a workshop on the implementation status of the “Guidelines for student charter in post-secondary educational institutions”.
The purpose of the student charter is to
provide well-structured processes through which students and staff can work
together, so as to enhance and support the learning and research experience at the
institutional level and create an enjoyable and appropriate environment in
which to study and work. The guidelines for the student charter explain exactly
what a student can expect of an institution and, in return, what an institution
can expect from a student. This workshop provides the ideal platform to discuss
about the status of the student charter with the TEC and to clear out any issues/constraints that
they may have encountered so far in developing their own charter. I would like
to thank the Tertiary Education Commission and all those who have contributed
in one way or another in organizing this workshop.
‘Visit from JSS Mahavidyapeetha’
I met with a delegation from JSS
Mahavidyapeetha, Mysore headed by Prof. M. H. Dhananjaya, Director of Technical
Education and Mr.D.P.Shivkumar, Chief Executive and others, accompanied by Dr
G.J.Shankaramurthy, Principal of JSS Academy of Technical Education, Mauritius.
The aim of the visit was to discuss collaboration between JSS College of
Engineering and my ministry.
