1. Before registering any post-secondary education institution, the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) is required to ensure that all the criteria for the establishment, registration and accreditation contained in its guidelines and which form part of its regulatory framework are satisfied.


2. There are six private post-secondary education institutions operating in Mauritius which are offering programmes for qualifications of Indian Awarding Bodies. Two of them were registered in 2003 and 2004 respectively, one in 2006, two in 2007 and one in 2011. They have satisfied all the requirements of the TEC Act and Regulations.


3. In view of the recent Public Notice of the UGC, TEC has requested all the local post-secondary education institutions, which are working with Indian universities, to seek clarifications with their respective awarding bodies in regard to the latter's compliance matters with the Indian Regulatory Authority and to inform TEC urgently of the outcome.


4. TEC is monitoring the whole matter very closely and will inform the students and the public in general of the action it will deem fit to take thereafter.

The attention of the public is hereby drawn to the provisions of Section 4(h) of the Tertiary Education Commission Act which stipulate that one of the duties of the Tertiary Education Commission is to determine the recognition and equivalence of academic or professional qualifications in the post-secondary education sector obtained in or outside Mauritius.

Accordingly, the public is kindly advised to consult the Tertiary Education Commission for recognition and/or equivalence of Post-secondary Educational Qualifications prior to embarking on a post-secondary education programme of their choice.

The public is hereby informed that the Isitech Business School (now operating as Oceana International Business School) is not authorised to enrol new students on its programmes.

The public is hereby informed that the Mauras College of Dentistry & Hospital & Oral Institute, Royal Road, Arsenal, is NOT authorised to enrol Year I students on the Bachelor of Dental Surgeon (BDS) programme (Bhavnagar University), for the academic year 2013-2014.

The Tertiary Education Commission, since its inception in 1988, has by virtue of its statutory objects, been committed to the fostering and the advancement of the tertiary education sector in Mauritius. As we progress in making Mauritius a Knowledge Hub, the priorities and challenges of the Commission shall be to provide equitable access to quality tertiary education. Through its evolving regulatory framework, the TEC will continuously strive for continued improvement in teaching, learning and research.

Our objective is to make the tertiary education sector more responsive to the needs of society by ensuring that there is readily usable knowledge and skills on the job market. I am convinced that use and application of up-to-date technology and the increasing involvement of industry in curriculum development will create the right synergy and ensure the ongoing relevance of our academic programmes.

As the Executive Director of the TEC, I invite all our stakeholders to align their efforts together to ensure that the programmes on offer are of international standards and that our graduates acquire the necessary attributes for employability and mobility.

Thanking you,
Prof. A.K. Bakhshi
Executive Director, TEC
