Flexible, Open and Distance Education

Management
Distance education has the potential to reach a broader audience at lower cost to the client. In addition, it has the potential to address the difficulties of distance and terrain in the delivery of education services to all Engan school aged citizens. This will be achieved by reviewing and rationalizing the existing main FODE office in Wabag and its affiliated Tec- vocational centers around the province. The rural primary schools and high schools will also benefit from the development of distance programs.
The principal target groups will be:
• Grades 6 to 8 students in remote schools who choose to complete their secondary
education through the flexible, open and distance education mode
• Grade 10 students who wish to take up the matriculation program.
• People undertaking technical and vocational training courses.
