An island off the southeast coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, Mauritius is a small state of the Commonwealth, with a population of over 1.2 million (World Bank, 2022).
COL’s work in Mauritius is in the areas of higher education, technology-enabled learning and teacher education. Mauritius is part of the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC) network and benefits from programmes offered by the Southern African Development Community’s Centre for Distance Education (SADC-CDE), COL’s regional centre. Learners from Mauritius are also participating in COL’s free online courses and benefitting from other openly available resources.
