The provision of a flexible, open and distance education gives alternative opportunities to students to pursue other pathways of formal education leading to grade 12, tertiary education and training.
Distance education has the potential to reach a broader audience at lower cost to both government and the client. The priority of open and distance education is to provide a choice of education by allowing students to continue, complete and articulate into further education and training. This will primarily be provided through Flexible Open and Distance Education and University sub-study Centers in the districts. These activities will be provided through Community Learning Centers (CLC).All schools are encourage to provide library service for the students.
