Distance Learning Is Veering Towards Success In Nigeria
Economy booms or hits us with a big bang; but there has hardly been any decline in demand for the qualified professionals in the job market
. In times of smooth sailing, they lay up the solid and strong basement for a prosperous future punching together the innovative vision with valuable experience from the ever-fleeting present into the abyss of past. In times of economic sluggishness, they keep the organization afloat on the surface at ease and with efficiency. Their academic achievements come to fruition when they face up challenges successfully during economic doldrums. Students can enrich their knowledge and bejewel their resumes by earning degree qualification in the distance learning mode.
Recently I have been to Nigeria. It is panting under a pile of debts in the industrial sector and the crisis has deepened due to the recent economic slowdown. However, the educational sector is in its full bloom. Many have gulped down the bitter truth that the unskilled persons are of no use when the economy is riding on a docking boat. With such a fact surfacing up, the distance learning programs are thriving on more than ever.
Nigeria is looking forward to development. It will obviously take a longer period as it is stricken by abject poverty and riddled with the incidence of horrible clashes between the two ethnic groups. Still, it is trying hard to achieve development riding on strength of highly qualified persons. Both the regular and distance learning programs are dedicatedly doing their stints to produce skilled persons in a bulk.
Induction to innovation is the prime condition for evolution. Distance learning mode of study took to a revolutionary bend in Nigeria with internet slowly spreading its wings. Study online program has refined the off-campus program with the raining boon of internet facility. With the introduction of online courses, the demand for instructional design has slid to an all-time high. E-learning applications, information-stuffed e-library, interestingly interactive session between the mentors and students are propelling the popularity of the distance learning courses to an amazing height.
There are a few premier institutes in Nigeria offering quality education. Too few students are lucky to get into such institutions. Distance learning study program is the instrumental in training the students with empowering knowledge. Owing to the absence of stringency in terms of attendance, the professionals also can register into the distance learning courses without risking their jobs and any breach in personal commitment.
Learning from distance is not a headache if one has got the right dose of zeal. Nigeria may be hobbling and striving for prosperity but distance learning is driving forward with pompous gait.
