For me the students are more genius than Cambridge. CAMBRIDGE SILLY AND STUDENT GENIUS.. YES OR NOT (Sorry Yoni but I had to delete a few lines from your comment as they were not explicit enough. Feel free to comment again but be more explicit. Avinash.)

CIE will ( and has ) made an apology and will 'sort' out the matter in the most diplomatic way without wasting precious time in idle talks. The Minister has certainly made a mistake to advance the notion of IB just now, but it is not impossible that Mauritius might soom be embarked on this venture. Afetr all, no one can deny the validity of IB on the world stage. Mr Bunwaree is a far sighted man and he will take some good decisions following this furor. And as M Atchia remarked, the capacity building, the culture, the budget and commitment would have to be forged for it to work. Whether Mauritians leave Cmabridge for IB, it is still one of the past colonisers .... Isn't it ? Where is the taste of freedom and self creativity in our pariotic fibres? One has to come to terms that we are still in the infancy of our strength to fight against these giants. The 'frauderes' and 'traceres' are certainly not the role models to show that Mauritians have ''arrived' in the IT sphere! with their limited brains, judgement and prowness in cracking or hacking ... No Avinash, this is not good publicity for you. I would avise you to vet the postings before you allow them to be published. Not to disrupt the major objective of this blog. A friendly advice. Just in case some 'rogue' immoral ones get here and do not deserve your openness in exchange of ideas.

I don't agree with this, someone can freely view all the posts on a group without being a member. If they track those who went on the group, then they should also track those who got the real tips/leakage through phone, fax and msn. “Cambridge probably just saw the list of all users who were members on the famous blackbooks.info facebook group, crosschecked each one of them to see who is from Mauritius, and attempted to get their name from their public profile”.

Do you know how much money EACH laureate cost to MAURITIANS in taxes?? 2-3 MILLIONS rupees if not more. Yes, out of every mauritians' pockets. What message to people get of the UOM when the govt says to our best candidates 'You know what, UOM is crap, don't go there, go abroad'? These laureates don't pay one cents for their universities and expect to get big salaries when they come back. What about those students that have paid the 2-3 million rupees out of THEIR OWN pocket? They should ask the moon, shouldn't they? “Give the devil his/her due and the laureate his/her scholarship.”
