Attaining quality education in Mauritius at secondary level : a case study of the Zone 2 (state secondary) schools from the educator’s perspective

"Education For All" is the goal which the Ministry of Education and Human
Resources, in Mauritius, wishes to attain, based on the recommendations of
UNESCO. Mauritius urges for quality education, that is, a world-class
education in which each Mauritian child should be given the opportunity to
reach high educational success. Education must be the privilege of all and not
the sole right of a few elites. This study analyses, from an educator‘s point of
view, the extent to which Mauritius is proficient in reaching quality education
at secondary level. It is mainly based on hypothesis-testing. The research
process also includes a case study of the Zone 2, for which a selfadministered
questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 90 educators. The
study reveals that Mauritius is heading towards a quantified education rather
than a quality education. Mass education can be seen as a better rhetoric for
its current educational plan. / Sociology / M.A. (Sociology)
