Community Based And Distance Learning : Some Perspectives
Abstract
Distance education techniques perceived holistically can and should be applied to literacy campaigns. In fact when we pose the question: ‘who is the distant learner’ the illiterates, semi‐literates and neo‐literates form tangible target groups. The first generation of distance education which organised and sustained the print media has been used very effectively for literacy measures in the form of primers, practicing writing/ numeracy skills etc. In fact the learning material prepared for literacy purposes is an indicator of Distance Education Methodology, as the print material which is the basic medium of instruction in Distance Education, is used for learners to be literates and neotiterates.
