MANCOSA: A Pioneer in Distance Education Celebrates 30 Years of Service to Professionals

MANCOSA, one of the first institutions for distance learning in Mauritius, celebrates 30 years of excellence in higher education this year. The institution has enabled many local professionals to enhance their skills while advancing in their careers, marking a remarkable journey.

As a South African higher education institution, MANCOSA is recognized for its flexible and professional management programs tailored to meet the needs of an ever-evolving job market. Being part of the Honoris United Universities network, it benefits from a pan-African dimension that enhances the quality, relevance, and impact of its training across the continent.

Over the past 30 years, nearly 3,000 Mauritian graduates have taken advantage of this educational offering, supported by 14 programs that adapt to the changing needs of the market and various sectors. As a pioneer of distance education in Mauritius, MANCOSA provides a flexible and quality solution, breaking down barriers of time and distance. The institution maintains high academic standards, recognized nationally and internationally.

Learning as a Catalyst for Transformation

“At Honoris, we have always aimed to eliminate all barriers limiting access to education, whether financial, geographical, social, or emotional. Learning should be a catalyst for transformation and not a privilege. Every graduate we support is proof that the future is built with determination and opportunity,” states Tasneem Jaumally, Managing Director of Honoris Educational Network.

As a member of the Honoris United Universities network, MANCOSA is strongly committed to quality, innovation, and pan-African collaboration. Its distance learning program has trained engaged professionals and leaders who actively contribute to the socio-economic development of the country. The vision and commitment of its founders, including Professor Yusuf Karodia, continue to guide and inspire educational advancements across the African continent.

A Human Adventure

Beyond its educational reach, MANCOSA represents a shared human adventure, a long history marked by successive achievements. Most importantly, the program opens new opportunities for students by equipping them with new skills. As Akshada Bholah, MBA, Cum Laude mentions, “The satisfaction of being able to provide the right solutions to the company’s clients is one of the most rewarding experiences, and I am grateful for it.”

“My journey at MANCOSA has been pivotal to my remarkable professional development. The dynamic programs and passionate trainers allowed me to broaden my horizons,” adds Yovna Tulsi, PGDBM graduate. Similarly, Keshika Ujoodha, also a PGDBM graduate, expresses her happiness for joining MANCOSA, saying, “I am glad to have joined MANCOSA as I now collaborate with 39 African countries at DHL Mauritius. Overall, the experience has been extremely enriching.”

These successes highlight the unique journey of MANCOSA, an institution that has proven its worth and continues to contribute resolutely to the empowerment of local talents.
