The tribute paid to the founding fathers of the party > pp. 44 - 45 was justifi ed and, on the whole, measured. It is undeniable that the party has left an indelible footprint in every aspect of the history of this country and it still is a major force to be reckoned with in today’s Mauritius. But a celebration is not ISKON vs McDonald’s restricted to reminiscing about the past. It is also about refl ecting on the present and looking into the future. To claim that the present La- bour Party has not deviated from its original ideology is not entirely supported by facts. The ideology on which the party was founded has defi nitely moved towards more economic pragmatism, involving The burger of discord a range of measures verging, some might say, on neo-liberalism.

  • Vernacular Languages in an English-Dominant Education System: Mauritian Creole, Bhojpuri and the Politics of Ethnicity in Multilingual Mauritius
    5 Vernacular languages in an English-dominant education system: Mauritian Creole, Bhojpuri and the politics of ethnicity in multilingual Mauritius Tejshree Auckle Introduction UNESCO’s 2009 world report on cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue makes a strong case for the implementation of mother-tongue-based multilingual education (MTB MLE) programmes which allow for the co-existence of both local vernacular languages and other socially prestigious tongues such as English (UNESCO 2009). The success of these MTB MLE programmes hinges, as it suggests, quite significantly, upon deliberate governmental intervention at the levels of language policy and planning. For instance, though the report bemoans the efforts of most multilingual nations which have set up their own MTB MLE programmes as being, at best, half- hearted, it also celebrates the tentative steps taken by countries such as Cambodia and Zambia which have formally introduced a few minority languages as media of instruction at lower primary level (UNESCO 2009). Such forms of overt language planning are believed to be instrumental to the maintenance or even, possibly, the revitalisation of minority and/or endangered languages (Schiffman 1995). However, as Shohamy (2006) highlights, many communities rely on covert language policies which make no explicit reference to language in any legal or administrative document. Instead, they draw quasi- exclusively from inferences derived from other forms of constitutional provisos. This dichotomy between covert and overt language policy and planning will be at the heart of this chapter as it seeks to explore the challenges faced by post-colonial Mauritius in implementing its own MTB MLE programme through the introduction of the vernacular languages of Mauritian Creole (MC) and Mauritian Bhojpuri (MB) as optional subjects at primary level.
