Admission Form 1: The Directors of the Private Colleges are not Satisfied

A disappointing first day of admission in private colleges. At least, this suggests that Rajen Chumroo, spokesman for the Federation of managers of private colleges, who is also director of the College of Universal Riviere du Rampart. It combines the low rate of admission to two factors: the preference of parents for state colleges and poor allocation of college students.

"In my college, for example, 50% of seats are still vacant. The list of students who are supposed to be admitted to the Universal College, 70% live in Port-Louis. This is quite understandable that they refuse to do this trip every day, " said Rajen Chumroo. He points out that "it is almost the same scenario in many private colleges."

According to Rajen Chumroo, the fault rests with the Department of Education. "It's the same story every year, it is high time that authorities offer a solution to this problem," he said beforehand.

However, the rectors of state colleges show great satisfaction. GMD Atchia college in Port-Louis, 140 places have already been selected. Given this high demand for state colleges, the Ministry of Education has decided to extend the period of admission until Thursday, December 22.

This extension of time will be equally suitable for those seeking a transfer. "Two colleges by region and will remain open to receive applications. Students will be fixed in a week, " said a Department of Education.
