He expressed optimism that with the ongoing talk between the management of the Open University and the relevant stakeholders, NOUN students would be absorbed into the scheme.

“But open and distance learning is not exactly the same thing as part time study.
“Open and Distance Learning is a standard form of education and it is the vogue in many advanced countries today.
