Implementers of Flexible Open and Distance Education (FODE) have been challenged to establish quality assurance and relevant programmes.
Acting deputy secretary for the Department of Education Eliakim Apelis brought these to their attention on the first day a two-day FODE project implementation workshop yesterday. The objective of the workshop was to bring together the provincial centre co-ordinators and education advisers for strategic consultation on the government’s and World Bank’s FODE restructured project implementation plan. Apelis said FODE was a school at home, where students who could not get a place in the classroom system study the same curriculum at their own time, own homes and at their own pace. He said it was one of the largest single national education offering with more than 40,000 children, and must change its focus and approaches. When pointing out the environmental, social, economical and political changes, Apelis told the participants they should either move with it or sit with it. The Natioanl Comments are closed.
