			''For entities in Saint Lucia see [[:Category:Saint Lucia]]''


			''Saint Lucia'' (French: Sainte-Lucie) is an island nation in the eastern [[Caribbean]] Sea on the boundary with the [[Atlantic]] Ocean. Part of the Lesser Antilles, it is located north/northeast of the islands of [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines]], northwest of [[Barbados]] and south of [[Martinique]]. Its size is 620 km²

			Saint Lucia has an estimated population of 160,000.

			Its capital is Castries.


			The island nation has been the home of two Nobel laureates, Arthur Lewis and Derek Walcott, and so can claim the distinction of being the nation with the most such honorees per capita in the world.

			Saint Lucia is one of the Windward Islands, named for Saint Lucy of Syracuse. It was first visited by Europeans in about the year 1500 and first colonised successfully by France who signed a treaty with the native Carib peoples in 1660. Great Britain took control of the island from 1663 to 1667 then went to war with France over it fourteen times, and finally took complete control in 1814. Because it switched so often between British and French control, Saint Lucia was also known as the "Helen of the West Indies".

			Representative government came about in 1924 (with universal adult suffrage from 1953) and from 1958 to 1962 the island was a member of the Federation of the West Indies. Finally, on February 22, 1979, Saint Lucia became an independent state of the [[Commonwealth of Nations]]. The island nation celebrates this every year with a public holiday. It is also a member of La [[Francophonie]].


			== Education ==

			The Education Act provides for free and compulsory education in Saint Lucia from the ages of 5 to 15. Literacy is very high. Public spending on education was 5.8 % of the 2002-2005 GDP.


			== Higher Education ==

			Saint Lucia has one university: [[University of the West Indies]] Open Campus.


			== ICT in education initiatives ==

			Very useful paper on ICT in education in Saint Lucia:

			http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=9&ved=0CGoQFjAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldsustainable.org%2Findex.php%2Fcomponent%2Fdocman%2Fdoc_download%2F11-article-4-37-47-e-ducation-in-st-lucia-myth-or-reality&rct=j&q=saint%20lucia%20e%20learning&ei=4sY9TqTkMMi0hAff7uGuAg&usg=AFQjCNHSr2g6zx2hqHU-xKGagqezTjrXlg&cad=rja

			Strongly suggests that the level of involvement of ICT in education is very limited.
