12. Regulatory Framework (1)
The Ministry of Education and Human Resources, Tertiary Education and
Scientific Research supervises and monitors all action related to the support to be
provided to education.
The Mauritius Qualification Authority is the regulator of the technical and
vocational education and training sector.
The Tertiary Education Commission has as objects to promote, plan, develop and
coordinate post-secondary education in Mauritius and to implement an
overarching regulatory framework to achieve high international quality.
It also has the responsibility to allocate government funds to the Tertiary Education
Institutions under its purview and to ensure accountability and optimum use of
resources.
12
13. Regulatory Framework (21)
TEC Regulatory Framework is based on:
1. Providing general guidelines on Tertiary Education Institutions in Mauritius
such as to set up new institutions, awarding powers, use of the “University”
term
2. Registration and accreditation of Programmes/Institutions
3. Carrying out Quality Assurance and Academic Audits involving guidelines for
Establishment of Quality Assurance Systems, guidelines for Self-Assessment of
Academic Audit and the criteria for Academic Audit
13
14. Qualifications Framework
The Mauritius Qualifications Authority (MQA) is the body responsible
for developing, implementing and maintaining the National Qualifications
Framework
It also aims to ensure that institutions are complying with existing
provisions regarding the registration and accreditation of training
institutions. In this respect, its responsibility appears to tally with that of
the TEC
14
15. Quality Framework (1)
At the TEC, the Division of Quality Assurance and Accreditation has been entrusted
the responsibility to establish appropriate quality assurance processes sector-wide.
A Framework for Quality Assurance in Tertiary Education in Mauritius has been
developed, which puts into perspective the quality assurance agenda for the sector.
In order to implement the agenda, the Commission has set out to:
1. assist the institutions in putting in place their specific quality assurance systems;
2. prepare the institutions to undertake their self-assessment;
3. undertake external quality audit of the institutions; and
4. carry out quality assessment exercises (or accreditation).
15
16. Quality Framework (2)
The Mauritius Standards Bureau
A corporate body which has been set up under the Mauritius Standards Bureau
Act 1993.
The Bureau is responsible for standardization, quality assurance, testing and
metrology. MSB operates a certification marking scheme for products and a
national management system certification scheme (ISO 9001, ISO 14001,
ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 22000, HACCP).
16
17. Observations (1)
Growing number of Tertiary Education Institutions in Mauritius
Existing frameworks supporting the sector in Mauritius appear to be fairly
well-defined.
3 institutions perform accreditation in Mauritius:
Tertiary Education Commission
Mauritius Qualifications Authority
Mauritius Standard Bureau
17
18. Observations (2)
There might be overlaps between the work of these three institutions
Proper guidelines when to choose which institution is missing or not clear
However, the sector is well regulated with a few TEIs shutting down
recently
Sector has the blessing of the Government with the creation of two new
faculties at the University of Mauritius, the leading tertiary education
provider in the country, namely the:
Faculty of Ocean Studies
Faculty of Information, Communication and Digital Technologies
18
19. Conclusions
The Mauritian tertiary sector is very competitive with a growing number of private
institutions.
Although there is a severe competition between the different TEIs, they seem to
have identified their target population which is based on age, fees, full-time or
part-time and field of study.
Proper guidelines on when to choose which body is necessary and currently
missing
With the creation of two new faculties namely the Faculty of Ocean Studies and the
Faculty of Information, Communication and Digital Technologies at the University
of Mauritius, the Government is increasing its efforts to position Mauritius as the
knowledge hub in this part of the world.
