Distance Education in Papua New Guinea
Main Article Content
Abstract
Distance Education has gained prominence over the last decade due to various educational, technological and environmental reasons. Advances in educational and telecommunications technologies have been at the centre of the thrust in this push for more students choosing to study at a distance. In Papua New Guinea, the thrust has been due to socio-economic and financial constraints. In this paper, the author reports on distance education developments in Papua New Guinea.
