Shaping Mauritius’ future: Education, Services, and Environmental Protection

Jaime de Melo

Post-Print from HAL

Abstract: Despite Mauritius' history of resilience, Jaime de Melo highlights some of the country's fragilities in terms of governance, environmental protection and human capital. In the short-run, he calls on the country to improve its governance by committing to external scrutiny and to resist protectionist winds. In the longer-run, the article highlights three imperatives: 1) a substantial boost in education to enable the country to grab opportunities brought about by the 4th industrial revolution, 2) the development of a services hub for Africa and 3) greater preservation of the environment to reverse the current rapid environmental degradation on the island.
