I spent Easter Saturday wirh ny sons and their wives, one of whom is from Mauritius. In the evening she gave us the Mauritian view of Brexit and it was about the most postive view I have heard in its way, namely that seen from the island Brexit is utterly irrelevant. If they go abroad to study it mainly the UK, Australia or Canada, except for medicine which is mainly India. Very many UK universities have a campus on the island and there is no very obvious reason why that should change.

So unless there is a significant change in costs - which is only partly due to exchange rates - she did not think Brexit would matter a jot either way to them. Thar all sounded plausible and I can see it applying to much of the world. So for this sector Brexit may well be "much ado anout nothing."
