| CIVIC EDUCATION |
- Civic education prepares people of a country, especially the young, to carry out their roles as citizens. Civic education, therefore, is the nurturing of the virtues, knowledge, and skills necessary for the building and functioning of a state.
- The National Institute for Civic Education is an innovative initiative of the Prime Minister’s Office, with the goal to educate and inspire secondary school students to be informed and engaged citizens of Mauritius. To that end, we have created a two-week training programme that will bring civic education to young Mauritians through fun and hands-on activities.
- The National Institute for Civic Education is the means of the government’s goal of nurturing proud and responsible citizens.
- “Government believes that our unique plural diversity is not only a major strength but also a source of great pride in our national identity. We are committed to move even further in our Nation Building process. Government will initiate an innovative programme aimed at nurturing citizens who are filled with pride in national identity.
Preliminary consultancy work has already been carried out for the setting up of the National Institute for Civic Education (NICE) whose main objective would be to instill character and nurture good citizens. It will do so by fostering a sense of shared human spirit, partnership for a common sense of purpose, and enterprise for the advancement of the nation. An initial pilot project will be run during the December 2012 school holidays for some 200 youths.” Moving the Nation Forward: Government Programme 2012-2015 |
