Abstract
E-learning in the Libyan Higher Education Higher education in Libya is provided by universities and higher technical and vocational institutions. The University sector in Libya started in the early 1950s with the establishment of the Libyan University, which has campuses in Benghazi and Tripoli. The higher education system is financed by and under the authority of the state; however, the Open University is the only institute within the public sector that relies, to some extent, on tuition fees paid by students. In recent years, policymakers have allowed the creation of private institutions of higher education through what are known as educational cooperatives.
