?Les chrétiens semblent endormis?

L?Édito de Raj Meetarbhan ?Les liaisons dangereuses? m?est resté à travers la gorge. Je crois qu?une homélie du jeudi saint, le début du ?Triduum? pascal, est une occasion pour notre très respecté évêque Mgr M. Piat de réveiller la conscience de ses fidèles et de leur rappeler que le devoir d?un chrétien, c?est d?annoncer la bonne nouvelle et aussi de dénoncer toutes formes d?injustice. Mais que voyons-nous ? Une certaine désespérance qui frappe les chrétiens face à la mainmise politique dans tous les domaines : éducatif, santé, police, fonction publique ? en ce qu?il s?agit de recrutements, promotions, transferts. Oui, Mgr Piat, continuez à nous parler, à nous secouer, si besoin est, et à situer notre conscience par rapport à l?Évangile, même si cela dérange certains, beaucoup, entre autres, Raj Meetarbhan, car les chrétiens semblent endormis, et il faut les réveiller avant qu?il ne soit trop tard. Nous sommes de tout coeur avec vous.

?TEC must recognize PGCE course?

We have just completed our PGCE course with the University of Southern Queensland (USQ), Australia. We also came to know that the programme is not recognised in Mauritius.

This is a big problem. A course that is internationally recognised, fails to be ?partie prenante? in accreditation system of Mauritius. What is more controversial is that the same institution, i.e. TEC does recognise the MEd of the same university (and not the PGCE!). Let us tell you that the PGCE programme is part of the MEd programme. What types of decisions are being taken at the management level of TEC? Are there really competent persons taking those decisions?

We personally believe that the TEC should give due equity in recognising the PGCE programme of USQ as the case is with the PGCE of MIE (which according to us lacks rigour and is not internationally recognised at all!). May be there is ?l?ingérence? of the MIE or someone else behind that decision!

In any case this is very bad news for the forthcoming knowledge hub!

What we are asking is to give due recognition to the PGCE programme and don?t hinder growth of intellectuals.
