Opening up education through open learning - the Star Online
The country needs to promote open and distance learning so that tertiary education becomes less elitist and is accessible to more people. In making this point, state executive councillor Datuk Dr Toh Kin Woon said that while tertiary education in Malaysia had experienced rapid growth since the 1980s, it was still accessible to just 15% of the target group. The Government’s target of seeing 1.4 million youths or 40% of the nation’s population in the 19 to 24 age group in tertiary education by 2010 could only be realised if the open and distance learning concept was adopted to complement conventional learning, he said.
