Towards a New Model of Schooling in Seychelles

Abstract

This report prepared at the request of the Seychelles Ministry of Education presents a new model of schooling in Seychelles and makes a case for strengthening the Seychelles Institute of Distance and Open Learning. The new model proposes to leverage the best features of open schooling, e-learning, hybrid learning, and community tutoring to improve effectiveness. It envisages 12 years of free schooling within an academic framework managed by autonomous schools under a national school development council.
