Proposals on Key Issues Pertaining to the Education Sector
It Starts at Home: Empowering Parents to Empower the Future
This report was developed by the ILMA Foundation in response to the communique issued by the Ministry of Education and Human Resource, which invited all stakeholders to contribute views and proposals ahead of the national education forum, les Assises de l'Éducation, to be held on 15, 16, and 17 April 2025.
The Ministry's call specifically sought input on key issues within the education sector, including curriculum reform, pedagogical approaches, home-school partnerships, extra-curricular development, inclusivity, foundational literacy and numeracy, career guidance, special education needs, discipline and violence prevention, teacher training, and the integration of technology and values-based education.
In alignment with this call, the ILMA Foundation has prepared this submission with the aim of contributing meaningful, research-informed proposals to strengthen education in Mauritius. The Foundation remains firmly committed to promoting equitable and inclusive education for all, grounded in both national values and global best practices.
Due to the late notice and limited access to local educational data, this report relies primarily on secondary sources and comparative international research to formulate evidence-based recommendations.
