SCHOOL OF DISTANCE EDUCATION
A REVIEW
Distance Education is an accepted mode of education. This system
is cost effective. It permits greater flexibility than conventional education. It is
learner centered.
The School of Distance Education of Andhra University started
functioning from 1st July, 1972, with B.A. and B.Com., degree courses under
New Scheme with the approval of the University Grants Commission. The
School introduced Admissions under open system into B.A. and B.Com. degree
courses in 1976. Under this system, Entrance Examination is conducted for
admission into B.A. and B.Com degree courses. No formal academic
qualification is required to take the Entrance Examination. But the candidate
should have completed 18 years of age.
The School of Distance Education is run by skilled teachers and
educational administrators who always strive to reach high academic standards.
The core academic staff of the School will carry on the academic activities with
the help of the well experienced teachers in their respective fields, who are
working in this University as well as in other Universities. A student who is
enrolled into this School studies the same syllabi, and is awarded the same
degree as in the case of regular students of this university.
A student after admission into the School of Distance Education
receives study material periodically in all the subjects. In order to supplement
the training through the reading material the School will arrange Semester end
personal contact programmes at selected centers to establish the missing link
of direct contact between the teachers and pupil. The School invites well
experienced teachers to participate in these personal contact programmes
besides our academic staff. During these programmes the teachers will give an
extensive review of the subjects and clarify the doubts of the students.
Computer Practical training is imparted during Personal Contact Programmes.
