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, teacher education and technology-enabled learning (TEL). It is part of the VUSSC network 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 online courses and have access to other openly available resources.
