Higher education in Mauritius

For Education in general in Mauritius, see Education in Mauritius.

Higher education in Mauritius includes colleges, universities and other technical institutions. Public university education has been free to students since 2019.[1] The sector is managed by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) which has the responsibility for allocating public funds, and fostering, planning and coordinating the development of post-secondary education and training. Formerly the Tertiary Education Commission, in 2020 it was reformed into the HEC and a separate Quality Assurance Authority (QAA) for auditing of qualifications.[2]
