| Abstract: | This paper analyses some of the difficulties faced by the education and training system of Mauritius, a successfully industrialising small island nation, which must somehow upgrade its people resources to compete in the newly emerging, knowledge-intensive sector. The paper concludes that, unless a new educational order is established and the wider social inequalities addressed, the Indian Ocean tiger, hailed by many as a model of development, may yet end up a victim of `thwarted development'. The essay is contextualised in the wider, macro-economic scenario of the post-GATT regime which is imposing an equalisation of the rules of international trade and thus more likely to expose the innate economic vulnerability of small island jurisdictions. |
