从非洲远程教育发展看世界远程教育走向——第二届非洲远程教育协会年会会议综述

The Development of Distance Education in Africa and the Trend of International Distance Education

非洲远程教育对促进非洲人力资源发展、满足社会对教育的需求、减少贫困和疾病、提高民族素养等诸多方面发挥最大优势。非洲远程教育为构建非洲终身学习和大众化教育网络搭建了一个施展能力的平台。从非洲这一特定区域的发展,看世界远程教育的走向,可为推进远程教育的可持续发展拟订轨道和实现远景目标的有力措施。

In Africa, distance education has encouraged the development of human resource, met the social demand for education, relieved poverty and diseases and promoted literacy for all nations in Africa. It also serves as a platform for lifelong learning and popularization of education. Studying the trend of international distance education from its development in Africa can help us realize the long term goal of a sustainable development of distance education.
