[Speaking in my personal capacity]
Dear SM,
Indeed, it's disappointing to see that Mauritius is ranked 115 here:

I believe that there is room for improvement here as I strongly believe
that all multi-stakeholders should be involved for IPv6 to move forward
in our country.

IPv6 skills for networking students is very important. UoM teaches basic
of IPv6 to its students for its networking class. This is a step
forward. However, UoM does not provide ipv6 connectivity to its students
on the campus. Again, the tertiary sector can go further, as we now have
ipv6-only iot devices being deployed in "Smart" cities like Seville:

It is key for our economy that we have an IPv6 deployment strategy for
end-users everywhere for our businesses & IT professionals to have IPv6
experience.
