Trying to sit HSC exams privately as certificates from Ireland not recognised in Mauritius
Hi i moved away from mauritius when i was 10 and came back a year ago (16). When i was abroad i just finished 4th year (1st-6th in Ireland) and then came back to mauritius they told me that my certificate (Honours level) was nothing here.. and put me in 3rd form..and now i'm 17 (in form 4) going to be 18yrs in january..
Is there a way i can do my hsc or a levels private exam as i am meant to be doing my leaving cert (Hsc in ireland now) If i continue in mauritius i'll finish school at the age of 20!! Help

Hello and welcome to cleverdodo
HSC AND SC exams are available as private candidates which you must apply for at the Mauritius Examination syndicate,
it is almost the same, i did private last year too,
The disadvantage is you won't have the second subsidiary subject
That is
A normal school student result consists of 5 subject
3 mains and 2 subs
example : maths chemistry physics
Subsidiary : General paper and french for example
So basically subsidiary subjects doesn't matter in university
but since while as a private candidate, you benefit from general paper, it is a clear proof that you know how to speak english
YOu may apply for the november 2015 Cambridge exams for hsc if you wish to, but you need to be ready for it, i did a class twice and it didn't matter for me.
If you are trying to go for hsc as private candidate, you will need to take tuitions in order to be ready. it will depend upon you if you wish to continue being at school or not. But personally, if you think you can go through school and being a step by step learner, maybe your future might be more bright
School times are the best of moments and you benefit a lot to be someone in life, but trust me if you feel it's better you do your hsc, then surely you will be ahead in the job market, but it's only if you are prepared.
You can stay in school till the age of 21 btw
Hi can i do the hsc exam without doing the sc exam with just tution for lower and upper hsc??Thanks
Hello Bimal
It's sad to see how our government bodies operate. U can sit for your private exams in May/June. You must enquire at the Mauritius Examination Syndicate in Reduit
