Combine conventional, distance education systems - the Hindu
CHENNAI April 24. A hybridised system which uses the good aspects of conventional and the distance educational systems was outlined by the University Grants Commission Chairman, Arun Nigavekar, here yesterday. Utility-oriented courses designed to suit local needs could be easily accommodated under the distance education mode and freely merged with the conventional system. This approach was not to devalue the conventional system or move from the university or college-based education to an open system. The shift to the hybrid system could help students in learning useful things, as they could access the best of learning resources and thus help in addressing problems faced by the education sector, Prof. Nigavekar said addressing a colloquium on Crisis in higher education organised by the United Writers Association and the Frank Moraes Foundation.
