Mauritius - People

Travellers coming to Rodrigues from Mauritius are often surprised by how different the population looks. Rodrigues has a predominantly Roman Catholic Creole population, descended from African and Malagasy slaves. Rodriguans sometimes feel closer to the Seychelles than to the Indo-Mauritian-dominated Mauritius. That’s a contention visitors are often made aware of as Rodriguans speak freely about the neglect of their isolated backwater.

Creole is the everyday language but educated Rodriguans also speak French. Although English is the official language and is used in school and official communication, it is less spoken on Rodrigues than in Mauritius.

The secondary school in Port Mathurin is a joint venture between the Roman Catholic and the Anglican churches. There are five state secondary schools on the island, at Maréchal, Le Chou, Mont Lubin, Grande Montagne and Terre Rouge.
