‘Annual Prize Giving Ceremony of QEC College’

 

 

It was a pleasure for me to be there this morning to join them in their celebration of their achievements.  It was particularly heartening to see so many parents there as well. Their presence there today is a strong affirmation of their support for their children’s learning experience.  It is undoubtedly a great encouragement to students. To all the students who received awards today, I extend to them my warmest congratulations on their achievements.  The award is not only recognition of their personal achievement but also an encouragement to motivate their peers to strive for excellence. It is not a secret that the QEC has always aimed at excellence in all that it undertakes.   Excellence is not an outcome.  Excellence is a mindset.  It is a state of mind that motivates one to continuously strive to do better.  It is a never ending urge to progress and a perpetual desire to surpass prior achievements.   I congratulate them on their achievements, and I wish them every success in the future and I wish all them well!

‘Launching Ceremony for the National Research Chairs ‘

 

 

 

It gave me great pleasure to be at the Launching Ceremony for the award of the National Research Chairs held at The Link, Hotel, Ebéne. Today’s ceremony is an important milestone in the consolidation of our research infrastructure. The National Research Chairs Programme is a long term commitment of Government to invest in Research to create jobs, strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life of all Mauritians. Investing in Research is crucial for developing highly skilled people and improving long-term competitiveness of the Mauritian economy. It is with these goals in mind that we have created the National Research Chairs at the UoM and/or UTM. I would like to thank the Tertiary Education Commission for the rigorous selection process for the National Research Chairs. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the recipients of the National Research Chairs awards. I hope this will generate the necessary competitive spirit that will increase our appetite for success as a nation.
