Welcome to the world of cyberlearning guys ... i have doing over my A+ , N+ and Security+ feeling myself not prepared for the exams ,i invested my money in online training materials and i must say that i have learned a lot better compared to ridcilious training sessions done by an instructor who reads out an ebook to you. what is this??paying lots of money to sit and read in a class together when i could de doing it myself.this is not what i paid for. Well i learn at my own pace now with trainsignal vids www.trainsignal.com videos and i really enjoy it...and i feel confident enough because it has cleared some doubts i had about these comptia courses.i'm will still carry on with it until i hear that the quality of training has improved of which personally i doubt.

True. There is a major problem with our education system: it's unadapted to what is happening in the real world. And the main reason for this is because a somewhat large number of teachers and lecturers are, simply said, not good enough... and, as you mentioned, this is especially true in the myriads of training institutions we have in Mauritius. Congrats Ashley for writing such a long and interesting comment.

Im taking part this April for BCS exams. My personal experience, low quality of teaching in mauritius. If one day I become a teacher; for sure i'll be much better than many many "lecturers". One advice to everyone who wish to join any one of the many private institutions for further studies : NEVER TRUST BLINDLY THAT XZY 'CENTER' IS MQA REG OR WHATEVER. ASK FOR THE LECTURER/S NAME AND JUST DO A SIMPLE SEARCH ON GOOGLE OR QUERY AT MQA. I was duped after paying many thousands rupees for the BCS course.... What i mean, the private institution is MQA aproved but not the lecturers. The management is more after profit than student success. They employ ""lecturers?" who are not qualified. Lecturers are mostly ex students same field, or students at uni doing slighty higher level in same field... in some rare cases they will employ secondary school teacher. Le system d'education Mauricien c'est a se faire chier!. On essaie de detruire la base de l'education plus que jamais. Ca sers a quoi les lecons particulier??? Sois pour consolider notre conaissance dans la matiere ou pour mieux comprendre ce que notre prof d'ecole/uni a failli de nous faire comprendre.... On essaie d'etendre l'horaire scolaire et etre enseigner par le meme prof qu'on arrive pas a comprendre!!! C'est quoi cette histoire?! Combien de ces eleves ayant terminer leur etudes superieurs sont pret pour "deliver the good" sur le marcher professionel du travail?? Le programme d'etude ne correspond pas aux exigences des employeur. Tant d'uni a maurice, et ou on passe on entend dire les eleves font l'informatique... comment se fait -il qu'il ya un manque aussi important de developeur de logiciel?. Des fois je me demande comment des gens aussi incompetent on passer d'annees a l'uni...Alors que d'autre beaucoup plus competant sont delaisser... Ca laisse reflechir.... Assess any HSC student and you will see their level of education compared to students of the early 80's... I personally did discuss with some Maths student (hsc level) their knowledge is far too limited.. many of the contents of "core book of bostock and chandler" is obselete. These missed contents will be developed at uni.. I guess, that's why long ago there were some HSC students and nowdays there are many Bachlor. ( Ban c ki pa p croir moi, prend ban livre arithmetic des annee 70 pu niveau hsc, btw calculatrice pa ti p servi sa lepok la.."log" ti dans table, calculation up to 6 decimal places were required in complex exercises).. enfin..... L'ile maurice que c'est formidable... Forget to tell u, the chat box i was working for, went on fire last year!!lol Hello there,

Also the mind set of our people should change. I think that we should be more open to the world. I mean that if you call a concentration of call centers or data centers as a 'cybercity' then i think that we are going in the wrong direction. I have nothing against call centers, as they create jobs and bring money to the country(huh...i think so). Better and cheaper technologies is really what we need! also not every household in mauritius have the financial possibility to have a computer(not to mention a broadband connection). thanks for your reply sir!
