Yann Jhugroo-Cangy, a student of the Higher School Certificate (HSC), says: "When I read the time-table, I realized that I am taking 16 exams over nine days. Sometimes, it just makes me a day between two exams. He must already "condition himself mentally and physically for such trials".
Another HSC candidate, Alex, says: “If the trials were set for the end of March, it would have been better. It would have given us more time. These reviews are practically behind the door. The month of February does not even count. To maximize his time, he prefers to get down to revisions right now at home. As the deadline is short, I believe that many students will do the same.”
Attendance and Planning Issues
Now that the timetable is published, the Ministry of Education will have to notify when attendance at school is no longer counted, says Basheer Taleb, president of the Federation of the Union of Managers of private colleges. A 70% class attendance rate is usually required, says Munsoo Kurrimbaccus, vice president of the Union of Private Secondary Education Employees (UPSEE).
“There was not enough planning. In advance, we knew that the exams would be held during this period. But the publication of the timetable caught the students off guard. Going forward, he says, better planning is needed.

National Certificate of Education (NCE)
The National Certificate of Education (NCE) is a national assessment conducted by the Mauritius Examination Syndicate (MES) based on the "Nine Year Continuous Basic Education". Grade 9 marked the end of compulsory education, and students are not obligated to continue their studies beyond this point. Students who successfully earned the NCE Certificate may then progress onto higher secondary education. They may have then studied for the O-level examinations and earn the School Certificate.
