Open and distance learning has been used in many ways in the recent past to provide both primary education and adult education. This book answers the key questions to these issues and assesses the impact and effect of the experience of basic education at a distance all over the world and in a wide variety of forms. This is the first major overview of this topic for twenty years.Despite the dramatic expansion of education over the last 25 years, there are still one hundred million children out of school and a billion adults who had no chance of getting to school and cannot read or write. This book explores the alternative routes to basic education for children and adults.
