Mauritius manufactures a vast range of cane rum. It is inexpensive and makes a nice drink when mixed with cola and ice. Another popular drink is a mixture of coconut water, a dash of lime and a bit of cane rum over ice. It’s worth looking for a bottle of cane rum that is at least 5 years old.
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.
