Mauritius At 56th Place in PISA Math Ranking


I believe it's the first time we are participating in this serious survey. And the government is to be praised to finally giving Mauritius an opportunity to see how well our education system stacks up against those of other countries around the world. We're at number 56 in Math. Right up there with Thailand and a lot better than Qatar and Ghana. But not even in the top half of the table. 56 is also quite close to the 54th place we got in the last Global Competitiveness Report.

And here's a clip to understand why we should be talking more often about PISA.

And for those who want to escape beyond their original instruction and broaden their horizons, they are free to try these open-ended, prerequisite-free, and free courses...

What about financial literacy for all? Spain has realised that it could prevent its present situation from recurring by investing now itself in the financial education of its young citizens, about how to spend their hard-earned money wisely and know what will affect their long-term investments...
But wait, it also means that they'll know that their worst enemy, inflation, has been obsessively promoted in Dodoland through various means since the past decade or so? Ayo, pou al ouverr liziƩ tang ar sa-la...

Education won't hurt. Neither will the curbing of abusive practices. And shouldn't government be educated of the risk of hatching toohroohs if they screw up the tax structure?
