The world leaders, meeting at the United Nations in 2000, have set
eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
that aim to
transform the condition of humankind in the 21st century.
These Goals
now guide the policies of Governments and the priorities of
development agencies.
Achieving the MDGs is requiring the massive expansion of
human
learning. In this context, the Commonwealth of Learning (COL)
is the only international
intergovernmental agency that focuses
exclusively on using technologies to expand
the scope and scale of human learning.

On behalf of Commonwealth Ministers of
Education, Commonwealth of
Learning (COL) is co-ordinating developing the Virtual University
for Small States of the Commonwealth (VUSSC). The VUSSC's
countries can be focused on creating skills related courses in the
areas such as
tourism, entrepreneurship, professional development,
disaster management as well as tons of technical and vocational subjects.Explore the List of Participating Countries here.
