Education in Mauritius is managed by the Ministry of Education & Human Resources, which controls the development and administration of state schools funded by government, but also has an advisory and supervisory role in respect of private schools.
Traditionally, many Mauritian families consider Christmas as a celebration for kids and young people and therefore tend to celebrate more on New Year instead.
Festivals add color and happiness to the lives of people. The times of festivals help people to meet their near and dear ones as well as exchange gifts with the close ones. Festivals in Mauritius are also known for the same purpose.
