08.04.01 The Mauritius Examinations Syndicate (MES), set up by the Mauritius

Examinations Syndicate Act No. 4 of 1984, operates under the aegis of the
Ministry of Education and Human Resources. Its objectives are to: organise
and conduct examinations; award certificates and cooperate with other
examination bodies engaged in relevant research and other related activities
for the development of a sound system of examinations. It envisions to be
the leading institution in the region in the field of examination, assessment
and evaluation.

08.04.02 In order to deliver on its mandate, the MES has organized its activities under
the following professional and technical sections: Invigilation; Records and
Syllabus; Local Technical and Professional examinations; Research and
Development and the Printing Section. The MES has also established links
with internationally recognised examination bodies and institutions.

08.04.03 The MES has, among others, supported the Ministry of Education & Human
Resources in its educational reforms, in fields such as, Summer School
Enhancement Programmes, Diagnostic Assessment, Literacy and Numeracy,
and Health and Physical Education.

08.04.04 The MES is headed by a Director who is the principal academic and
administrative officer responsible for the day-to-day management. He is
assisted in his tasks by two Deputy Directors, a Secretary and other officers
of the technical sections and staff of the General Services.

08.04.05 A few changes are underway at the MES for the reorganisation of its Printing
and IT Division. Pending these changes, the structure is being maintained.
