This paper outlines the rationale for using Distributed Leadership (DL) as a lens through which to view Learners’ Voice in the current curriculum reform. We argue that this is a time of significant personal adversity, academic resistance and we suggest that for some, it may result in overhaul (s) of reference or perspective in the Curriculum Reform of Mauritius. Within the context of the Mauritian Nine-Year Schooling, at the secondary level, the landscape of the educational sector is changing, and this is giving rise to new forms of educational activities, such as learners’ active participation in the learning process and e-education. Perceptions of Rectors, Heads of Departments (HoDs) and Educators on Distributed Leadership were captured through interviews as Learners’ Voice. We argue that although DL may be supported in the Mauritian Secondary Schools landscape, situating DL (if, at all) within the Learners’ Voices in the Curriculum Reform Process, is worthy of investigation.
