Congratulations to Giralia Grace Lisette from Marechal College, Rodrigues, on winning the English Speaking Union National Public Speaking Competition 2026!
A remarkable achievement reflecting clarity of thought, confidence, authenticity, and eloquence.
The National Finals, organised by the English-Speaking Union in collaboration with the Embassy of the United States of America, the British High Commission, the British Council, and Charles Telfair Education (Curtin Mauritius), took place yesterday.
Congratulations as well to all finalists and participants for their dedication, thoughtful engagement, and willingness to step forward and express themselves.
In an era shaped by digital communication remain essential in strengthening confidence, presence, and leadership among our young people – qualities needed to thrive beyond screens.
This is why our State House flagship initiatives this year – the National Essay Competition and the Learn-AI School Innovation Challenge – also include an oral component.
Together, we must invest in opportunities that equip our youths to lead and thrive in an ever-evolving world.
