A small state of the Commonwealth with a population of about 92,000, Seychelles has played a major role in the establishment and expansion of the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC).

Highlights

COL’s current work in Seychelles is primarily in the area of higher education, mainly through the Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth. Seychelles benefits from activities organised under the auspices of the Southern African Development Community Centre for Distance Education. Learners from Seychelles have also benefited from COL’s open online courses and other resources.
