Education

Education

One of the new sectors of growth identified by the Government is higher education where Mauritius can transform itself into an Education Hub. The development of Mauritius as a regional hub for high quality education and training will act as a catalyst in broadening the Mauritian economy and in providing necessary support to the existing and upcoming sectors.

Educational institutions at all levels have therefore a prominent role to play in shaping the required human capital of tomorrow. With its unique lifestyle, safe and pleasant living environment, its internationally recognised qualifications and diverse programme offerings, Mauritius is also an attractive destination for international students.
