About the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN)
The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) formally took off in the year 2002, with a series of planning activities. The University was first established in July 1983, closed a few months later in 1984 because of various defects and reasons which the Federal Government felt should be corrected.
The National Policy on Education is very explicit in referring to what is now known as Open and Distance Education (ODE). It describes it as a system which encompasses education for all, education for life, life-long learning, life-wide education, adult education, mass education, media-based education, self learning, personalised learning, part-time studies, and much more. The policy has practically been demonstrated in the rebirth of the National Open University of Nigeria, whose major purpose is to make education available to as many people as have the ability and are willing and ready to benefit from the quality education provided through a flexible and affordable distance learning.
About The Common Wealth of Learning
The Commonwealth of Learning (COL) was inspired by the vision that the peoples of the Commonwealth must and can have access to knowledge, regardless of where they live and whether they are rich or poor.
With headquarters in Vancouver, the Commonwealth of Learning is an inter-governmental organisation with a mandate to widen opportunities for learning in the 54-member states of the Commonwealth, including Nigeria, by promoting the development and sharing of open and distance learning resources and communication technologies. It was created by Commonwealth Heads of Government in late 1987 and became operational in 1989.
Working with and providing services to hundreds of institutions throughout the Commonwealth, COL is helping to increase the capacities of developing nations to meet the demands for improved access to quality education and training. For more information about the Commonwealth of Learning, visit the website indicated in the handbook.
