Enrolments in eLearning courses increased by 21%
between 2009 and 2010compared to
2% for campus enrolments.

the for-profit sector has a much higher proportion of the total online market (32%) compared to its share of the overall higher education market (7%).

“a growing market that is not well served by
campus-based education”
"If public institutions do not step up to the plate, then the corporate for-
profit sector will".

Will higher education split over the coming
years into a public sector focussed on research and a for-profit sector doing
most of the teaching?

Massification“Nearly one-third of the world’s population (29.3%) is under 15. Today there are 165 million people enrolled in tertiary education1. Projections suggest that that participation will peak at 263 million2 in 2025.
Accommodating the additional 98 million students would require more than four major universities (30,000 students) to open every week for the next fifteen years. 1ISCED levels 5 & 6 UNESCO Institute of Statistics figures2British Council and IDP Australia projections

Ethiopia“an egregious and startling case”
August 26, 2010: Ministry of Education announces
All distance education programmes in private and public institutions scrapped.
‘distance learning education is unnecessary at this stage in the development of the education
sector’

…in the 1990s the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Meles Zenawi, and most of his cabinet studied successfully for the UK Open University’s MBA…

The ban affects 75,000 students in 64 private institutions, which were a major contributor to raising Ethiopia’s gross
enrolment rate in HE from 1% to 5% in a decade

But the answer is an effective quality assurance regime, not throwing the
baby out with the bathwater!
![Page 68: 20 Years of Distance Education in the Garden of EDEN: Good News and Bad News](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051818/54c009524a7959ae648b4696/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
The ban affects 75,000 students in 64 private institutions, which were a major contributor to raising Ethiopia’s gross
enrolment rate in HE from 1% to 5% in a decade
The ban has now been lifted and a quality assurance system put in place. The private institutions must also
observe a strict 70-to-30 ratio between natural sciences/technology versus social sciences/humanities.

A flawed and ineffective quality assurance structure for distance education because the Distance Education Council is nested within the Indira Gandhi National Open University, creating a grave conflict of interest.
