Learning Multiple Languages in Mauritius Curriculum

In Mauritius, our students learn several languages as part of their educational curriculum right from the Elementary School stage. Children learn to read and write our pan-Mauritius Creole (Kreol Morisien) in the elementary classes when they join the formal schooling system. Indeed, our Creole may be considered as the mother tongue of Mauritian children. Then they are introduced to English as well as French as required languages at the pre-Primary level. Students also begin to learn their Indian ethnic identity languages at the Primary level. If they are of Bhojpuri ethnicity, students usually prefer to learn Hindi. If they are of Tamil ethnicity, students generally prefer to learn Tamil. Telugu ethnic students of Mauritius learn Telugu. Similar is the case with the students of Marathi and Urdu background.
