The e-learning programme is founded on the basic and practical principle that the use of the internet as a learning tool not only creates anonymity and thus dismantles the psychological barriers that prevent illiterate adults from resuming their studies but also enables them to balance their work, family and learning commitments by learning at home at whatever time is suitable to them.
Prize is awarded to the North Catholic University Foundation in Antioquia, Colombia for its Virtual Assisted Literacy Programme, which uses e-learning to improve technology skills and employment opportunities in marginalized communities.
