Setting up revision teams for ACCA

I think that we’ve all noticed how demanding the syllabus is, particularly, that for F4 Corporate and Business Law.

But I believe that just obtaining pass marks is not enough; we need to aim higher and even highest!

In order to do so, we need to work during tutorials, at home end even during our free time at CTI. Consequently, Shamianah and I plan to create a team which will focus on practicing exam questions and prepare revision kits as well.

It should be noted that the team is not meant for completion of assignments or other works given for tutorials. Its main objective is to voluntarily work out questions other than that given by our lecturers.

The team will be open to everybody and will be operational in one week-time. So, those interested need to inform us as soon as possible.

WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY

On the 5th of each year many Countries across the world commemorate the WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY (WED). Initially the WED was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972.It is a Special occasion for mankind to think about the impact of his activities on the planet earth.
I really appreciate the willingness of our government to make Mauritius a green island and to bring greater awareness in the population. Last Friday, a documentary on WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY was broadcasted on the MBC channel. We also had the launching of new books on the environment to be introduce as a new subject as from 2010 in schools at primary, Secondary and tertiary level
However, I believe that more can be done to bring greater importance of having this day observed in Mauritius. There is still a great number of Mauritian who did not know that Friday was the WED. Moreover making environment a new subject in schools will not be enough.
Do you know that we have more than 80 ways of observing this day? For example, we could have distribution of stickers to Motorist to sensitize people, a pacific walk in towns or green concerts. The government needs to encourage the ONGs too. In Mauritius it was such a passive way of observing this WED.
Introducing environment as a new subject to be studied will obviously have to be followed by examinations. This make the subject lose some of its interest in bringing greater awareness about the importance of preserving the environment. Remember that in many cases people cannot apply what they have learned in everyday life. Nevertheless it would be more efficient if the curriculum include many environmental related activities.
To make the earth breath better, there is a need for everyone’s contribution. So don’t think that your contribution is not important
