Summary: | This short country report, a result of
larger Information for Development Program (infoDev) -
supported survey of the Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) in education in Africa, provides a
general overview of current activities and issues related to
ICT use in education in the country. Following the model of
the Singaporean experience, the Mauritian government has
been visionary in its promotion of its country as a
'cyber island,' a hub for the southern African
region with a diversified economy. Mauritius has attempted
to promote ICTs in schools since the late 1990s which is
reflected in its national ICT policy, a segment of which is
dedicated to education. |
