On this special occasion of Teachers’ Day, I wish to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all the dedicated educators across Mauritius—our teachers, support teachers, teacher’s assistants, carers, and all those who work closely with learners with special educational needs.
Your unwavering dedication, compassion, and resilience are a source of strength and hope for our children and their families.
You do more than teach—you nurture, guide, and empower every learner to reach their full potential.
At the Special Education Needs Authority (SENA), we recognise the important role you play in our education system.
We are deeply aware of the challenges you face daily—often quietly and without fanfare—and we honour your tireless commitment to inclusive education.
Whether you are in the classroom, offering therapeutic support, assisting with care, or contributing through administrative roles, your work is invaluable to the nation.
You are shaping a more inclusive Mauritius, where every child is given the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their abilities.
Today, we celebrate not only your professional excellence but also the deep sense of humanity and empathy you bring to your work.
Thank you for being champions of inclusion, advocates of dignity, and unwavering pillars of support to our learners and their families.
Let us continue working together to build a future where every Mauritian child feels seen, supported, and valued.
Happy Teachers’ Day!
With sincere gratitude,
Dr. Kalisetty Appadu Veemen
