How to read the Mauritius evidence
The three March 2025 school counts are contemporaneous and level-specific, with secondary enrolment the largest of the three displayed school populations.
Tertiary enrolment is kept at its 2024 reference year instead of being visually upgraded to March 2025 simply because it appears in the same publication.
