Distance Learning Can Reach All - Emma Kakololo, New Era (Windhoek)
Open Distance Learning (ODL) has the inherent potential to ensure that all people have access to life-long learning. This was said by Deputy Minister of Education, Dr Becky Ndjoze-Ojo, yesterday at the opening of the first ODL Conference of the Namibian Open Learning Network (NOLNet) Trust. She said it is estimated that over 36 000 Namibians are studying through open and distance learning with the NOLNet Trust partner institutions alone, and if the assessment is correct, then, it is a much bigger number than any of the local conventional institutions have individually or jointly enrolled.
