Provision of Quality Education: Mauritius in Quest of Quality Education

Abstract

There has been a growing concern about the provision of quality education in the Mauritian school during the past few decades. Provision of Quality is a very important factor for the continuing growth of educational system in Mauritius. This study has been carried out by studying the different papers published by different Governments elected in Mauritius through the Ministry of Education and Human Resource (MOEHR) by the ministers in quest of providing quality education to the nation. The findings of this study are intended to help Colleges leaders and the Government to better understand the needs of Quality and hence maximize their effectiveness and efficiency in achieving and imparting quality education. The exploration of Quality education was studied in line with papers published by the Ministry of Education and Human Resource of Mauritius (MOEHR). The focus was therefore on the needs of the provision of quality Education and the effort made by the Government towards imparting a free quality education to the nation. The study revealed that a certain level of Quality of education exists in the Mauritian Education System. This is due to the caring environment and the provision of facilities to enhance the teaching and learning process in the school. On the other hand, there are other important factors which cause great dissatisfaction. The implementation and the publication of New Educational Reforms have been the major concerned. Some recommendations have been put forward on how to improve quality and to achieve quality. Recognition for the value of the published Educational Reforms and the devotion, commitment, and contribution to the achievement of Quality Education will positively motivate Education Ministers to stay enthusiastic in working on the same path of the other educational ministers in quest of providing a quality education the nation.
