IMPORTANCE OF CORRESPONDENCE PROGRAMME

Learning skills can be honed in many ways- through regular schooling and university programs, private tuitions, correspondence and on the job training. Most people like to upgrade their skills and proficiency in certain subjects of their interest and work. This obviously gives them a competitive edge over the others. Regular work may interrupt the knowledge process. Sometimes even young students are forced to drop out of colleges or fail regularly and the studies are left incomplete. For such candidates correspondence courses are a big boom. They are inexpensive and give the same learning experience that the regular learning courses give. Many years ago there was not much courses that one could avail of. But with many avenues opening up, there are many correspondence courses available. For doing any correspondence course a candidate must make the effort to at least make up for the learning process that was stopped due to unavoidable reasons in early life. Some women who get married early in life, which is still prevalent in India, opt for home study courses. Some professionals opt for online courses due to their work schedules. The main driving force of attaining proficiency in getting educated has prompted many institutes to introduce such courses. Today there are even correspondence courses for MBA! The field has become so competitive that if one cannot get admission in a recognized institute, instead of wasting any years, one can pick up a distant learning course Some of the most sought after distant learning courses are offered by INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT STUDIES.
 

SPECIAL ATTRACTION:-

Distance education provides major benefits to at least five main markets or categories, such as:

 

• Expanding access: Distance education can reach underserved populations of students who cannot attend a school that offers the educational services they desire, perhaps because they live too far away.
• Cost reduction: Distance education can turn production of content into a repeatable and durable learning tool that does not require as much infrastructure. As most material can be packaged in an easy to deliver "just-in-time" format, the expanding payroll of educational institutions becomes unnecessary.
• Emerging market opportunities: Distance education fuels the public's need for lifelong learning in education by providing access to learners not in the traditional k-12 age group.
• To new technology and environments: Educational institutions may adopt distance education as a means to adapt to the rapid changes in technology being used in education today.[24]
• New fund-raising opportunities: .Distance education creates new graduates who might be willing to donate money to the school who would have never have been associated with the school under the traditional system.[25]
