This Report contains a summary of findings together with lists of commendations and recommendations. A commendation refers to the achievement of a stated goal, or to some plan or activity that has led to, or appears likely to lead to, the achievement of a stated goal, and which in Audit Panel's view is particularly significant. A recommendation refers to an area in need of attention, whether in respect of approach, deployment or results, which in TEC's view is particularly significant. It is acknowledged that recommendations in this Audit Report may have resource implications, and that this can pose difficulties for the Institution. Accordingly, TEC does not prioritise these recommendations, and recognises that it is the responsibility of the MIE to respond in a manner consistent with its local context.

International Conference - 9 to 12 April, 2008

MOFET ITEC (International Teacher Educators Community), an International Content Portal in teacher education, seeks to improve the flow of pedagogical knowledge and research on teacher education by helping researchers and teacher educators cope and keep abreast with the wealth of publications in the field.

The portal's uniqueness resides in the coordinated processes of collecting, filtering, processing and distributing relevant research and non-research papers on education and teacher education within "one integrative reservoir". In addition, portal users are invited to make use of the site's reaction system and share their knowledge and insights regarding the contents presented with other users.

The Mauritius Institute of Education receives the support of MOFET in developing and running of an Induction Programme for its newly appointed Academic staff and seeks to further consolidate this collaboration.

The MIE link programme with the Edith Cowan University, Perth, Western Australia has been running for ten years now. This link allows the trainees from the University, along with their tutors, to come to Mauritius for training in the teaching of English Language to non-native speakers of English.
