Answer 2

Answer:

Equal opportunity to all

Education should have no boundaries. It should be accessible to all. Keeping in mind the needs of various people from various walks of life and from various strata of the society. Government in every country has tried to make education accessible to all over the years. In that process, the world was introduced to universities and institutes offering education through various modes according to the need and affordability of different groups of students.

Though the most popular mode of education is regular or full-time; there’s a large number of people who can’t pursue it. There may be different reasons for it; affordability, irregular schooling, location, medical reasons, etc. For such students, Open Universities are like a boon from the government.

The Department of Higher Studies of Ministry of Human Resource and Development (MHRD) defines Open and Distance Learning as a system “wherein teachers and learners need not necessarily be present either at same place or same time and is flexible in regard to modalities and timing of teaching and learning as also the admission criteria without compromising necessary quality considerations”.

Open Universities are significant for continuing quality education and skill development of persons residing at educationally disadvantageous locations.

Here’s looking at their advantages:

• Open Universities provide education through open-door academic policy, i.e. a system of education wherein admission is granted to the candidates on basis of minimum education and previous academic record, experience or references are not mandatory.
• These universities follow no-class room teaching method, thus their fee is affordable for all-rich, poor, working professionals, non-working people.
• Open Universities offer access to quality education and skill development to learners in remote areas as well as those who are medically not fit to attend classes on daily basis.
• Another important feature of Open Universities, is that there’s no age limit as such. Any person from any walk of life at any age can pursue higher education.

Open Universities function under UGC’s purview hence, the degrees and certificates awarded are UGC approved and valid in every regard.

• Open Universities offer relaxation in the duration of a programme. For eg: A three-year programme can be completed in six years.
• The goal of Open Universities is to offer equal opportunity to everyone to learn and acquire knowledge to raise their level of living.
• Open Universities can accommodate thousands of students. Indira Gandhi National Open University is the largest university in the world in terms of intake, having approximately 3.5 million students across the globe.
