Makale Özeti:
|
Distance education has become an important policy option for educational planners
in developing countries. In the context of Nigeria, increasing population, growing
national demand for education, dwindling financial resources, increasing fiscal
constraints, and therefore narrowing of access to education led to the emergence
Open University in Nigeria to salvage the promise of education only to be choked
prematurely to death. It’s subsequent re-emergence points to its imperative in
salvaging the demand for placement in the universities in Nigeria.
The review attests to this promise, despite the ups and downs and argues that the
revitalisation of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) by the government has
the potential to widen access and become a rallying point for higher education in
Nigeria. NOUN will however face two major challenges as it seeks to transform the
educational landscape: the first is that it needs to demonstrate that it can provide
programmes of high quality to its students; second, it needs to be able to
demonstrate that it can offer programmes cost-effectively. These challenges demand
a refocus and a re-conceptualizations of the superstructure, distance education in
Nigeria.
