Open and distance learning systems for people with disabilities

Description:

This paper discusses the idea of Open and Distance Learning Systems as a possibility of alleviating the problems faced by persons with physical disabilities and who are unable to obtain meaningful education at educational institutions due to their disabilities. The use of radio and television as a way of providing nonresidential home-based education is also discussed. The two systems presently operating in South Africa and Zimbabwe are examined and recommendations for the implementation of such systems throughout Africa are made.
