Press Conference – ‘Open University of Mauritius’

 

I met the press today to speak on the Open University which is a cornerstone project of the Government of Mauritius to remove barriers for access to post secondary and tertiary education in Mauritius and the Indian Ocean Region, through the emergence of a flexible, accessible and cost effective educational system that will tap on the existing resources at technical, vocational and university education levels. The resulting impact should significantly enhance the quality and provision of post secondary education both locally and for this sub region of the Indian Ocean.
