Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is the highest governing body of Polytechnics Mauritius Ltd. It acts on behalf of the institutional members to create and maintain a vision for PML and to determine and ensure that the organizations adheres to appropriate standards of performance. The Board is committed to guaranteeing accountability of PML to the Government of Mauritius.
To assist the Board of Directors in its mandate, it defers part of its powers to sub-committees that may cipher through all the submissions and make recommendations to the Board. Sub-committees generally include Board members, Ministry representatives, Senior management and persons with technical expertise. Nothing precludes the Board to proceed in a different direction if it deems it fit. The Board may also appoint other formal committees depending on tasks at hand if it deems if necessary.
