A small state of the Commonwealth with a population of over 100,000 (World Bank, 2022), Seychelles has played a major role in the establishment and expansion of the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC).
COL’s work in Seychelles is primarily in the areas of higher education through the VUSSC network, teacher education and technology-enabled learning (TEL) and benefits from programmes offered by COL’s regional centre, the Southern African Development Community’s Centre for Distance Education (SADC-CDE). Learners from Seychelles are also participating in COL’s free, open online courses and have access to other available resources.
