e-learning, a cost effective means of education

Online education is simply taking courses over a computer,you recieve your assignment , course study as well as examination through the internet.All you require is a computer ,connected to the internet and a some of money to pay for your admission and you are good to go, some universities also offer free online eduaction so all you have to do is google search it and find the ones that offer your courses. Ghana has been left behind when we talk of online education.Basically we dont have enough infrastructure to maximize this opportunity .We firstt have to sit down and draw a plan about how we can improve the communication sector to make internet affordable and fast. Today there is a major crisis in our educational sector because of the double badge,thus the 3/4 year badge that applied this year. Personally speaking i think the introduction of the 4 year program was vain.Here we are with not enough classrooms ,libraries, sanitation facilities and teachers and instead of taking care of these problems they decided to play politics with it , and then what happened to it, succeeding political party also deemed it unimportant to continue the program and so he reverted it back to the 3 year eductational programm. This ended up making two set of student apply to the universities this year ,meanwhile we have not yet developed and upgraded our universities. People satnd outside when lectures are going on because the classroom are overcrowded. This does not create a condusive environment for people to learn.Learning requires some degree of serenity. I personally believe if we continues politicizing our educational system we will be doomed. Knust says it has recieved 40000 undergraduate applycation but will be admitting less than 10000 peoples because they lack infrastructure and even the ten thousand people whom they will be admitting might face accommodation problems beacuse the school is at now almost overcrowded with filth generating every day.Truly the way to go is developing our online educational infrastructure to suite our educational system. We can even create an electronic learning centers (e-learning centers) across the entire conntries to make accessability to the various courese easy. Elearning is widely use in the west ,almost evry university in the west has an e-learning provisions for student who want to participate but have little time to spare because of work or leaves in another country. Elearning saves time and money to some extent. Ghana and africa at large hast to considere this option if it really was to reduce the illitracy rate, many people finish high school but cant continue to higher education because there are limited facilities. For those enterpreneurs out there this can be an opportunity of a life time, start investing in online universities and you will see results. Online eduaction has a large market now,because there are more people finishing high school but less people been admitted into the universities because of limited infrastructure.
