Online university of hope:
"It has no campus, no lecture theatres and hardly any paid staff, but the international University of the People has at least one big plus: no tuition fees.
This, and the fact its courses are taught entirely online and are designed to make it accessible to people who, because of poverty, geography or personal restrictions, would never contemplate university study.
'Hundreds of millions of people deserve to get education and don't,' says UoPeople's founder Shai Reshef, a Californian businessman. 'We are showing a way that this mass of people can be educated in a very efficient and inexpensive way.'"
