Weekly: Special edition on tertiary education in Mauritius

COVER STORY

The DPP’s future: Reform or political stratagem?

The government decision to relocate the office of the director of public prosecutions under the attorney-general’s office has the legal profession up in arms. Do the critics have a case? What are the political ramifications of this fight? And how, in this case, is the government its own worst enemy.

INTERVIEW

Nita Deerpalsing: “We lost an election that we did everything to lose”

Weekly speaks to former Labour Party MP, Nita Deerpalsing. Known for being outspoken, she talks about the future of the Labour Party and gives her opinion on “good governance”, the recent nominations to parastatal bodies and the spat between the DPP and the attorney general.

EDUCATION

ICT sector in Mauritius: The mismatch explained

When it comes to the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, a curious paradox seems to be at play. On the one hand, the university system is churning out thousands of people with IT degrees, but ICT companies are still complaining of shortages and a mismatch in the market. What this means is that just getting an ICT degree may not mean getting a job in Mauritius. So what does this mismatch look like and what does this mean for the putative IT professional of the near-future.
