Bridging the Education Gap - Wezi Tjaronda, All Africa
OPEN and distance learning has become the only solution for expediting the process of addressing the literacy and educational deficit glaring at the sub-Saharan region and Africa in general. These were the remarks of Professor David Mosoma, deputy vice chancellor and vice principal of operations of the University of South Africa, in his keynote address to a Round Table Discussion on the role of Open Distance Learning (ODL) in the SADC region. In his reflection on the role of ODL in SADC and how Distance Education Association (DEASA) would add value to it, Mosoma said: "Clearly, distance education provides a unique delivery model which should be appropriated to address the educational needs of the region. It offers a paradigm shift from conventional or contact mode of delivery to one that removes education barriers."
