Le Funday, « teaching is fun » Formation modernisée

Les contenus d’enseignement ne s’arrêtent pas aux savoirs et savoir-faire. L’école doit prendre en compte le savoir-vivre et des compétences transversales. L’enjeu de la formation est de remplacer les grands discours par des activités qui peuvent se concrétiser de plusieurs manières : travaux en groupe, recherches, enquêtes, projets… Le pouvoir n’est plus à celui qui sait, comme autrefois, mais à celui qui agit. On est dans une logique de l’action.

The United Nations Information Service's Graduate Study Programme provides an opportunity for participants to deepen their understanding of the United Nations system through first-hand observation and study. The Graduate Study Programme is held at the United Nations Office at Geneva each year during the first three weeks of July.

MIE students should contact the Registrar: registrar@mieonline.org for any assistance and nomination.

Expanding education and improving its quality is central to the development of Africa. If we want to realize the goal of quality education for all, faculties of education in Africa need to actively take the lead.

It is extremely important for educationists in Africa to meet and deliberate on educational issues in Africa. It is our responsibility to share our knowledge with one another and strengthen our intellectual capacity regarding education in Africa.

The DETA 2009 Conference will create a unique platform to achieve the above. The previous DETA 2007 Conference attracted more that 200 educationists from 30 countries in Africa. The DETA 2009 promises to be an even bigger event. Plan now for your attendance at this exiting conference.

Benefits of attending this conference
Participants at this conference will get the chance to:

• Gain new insights into the possibilities for teacher training in Africa.
  
• Participate in the development of a research agenda for teacher training in Africa.
  
• Develop exciting and worthwhile new partnerships and networks amongst individuals and institutions

The Education & Human Resources Strategy Plan (EHRSP) has been formulated in line with the vision of providing a quality education for all and developing a Human Resource base to transform Mauritius into an intelligent nation state in the vanguard of global progress and innovation through the development of a culture of achievement and excellence.

 

Central to this Plan is the universalisation of opportunities for quality education at all levels, right from pre-primary through to post-secondary education subsectors, and for the training sector. The drive is thus towards ensuring access to learning opportunities for all and fostering innovation and generating new knowledge for the socio-economic and sustainable development of the nation.

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.
