Distance learning, sometimes called e-learning, is a formalized teaching and learning system specifically designed to be carried out remotely by using electronic communication. Because distance learning is less expensive to support and is not constrained by geographic considerations, it offers opportunities in situations where traditional education has difficulty operating. Students with scheduling or distance problems can benefit, as can employees, because distance education can be more flexible in terms of time and can be delivered virtually anywhere.

Why do students want to give up the pleasures of college life?
The answers are as varied as the students themselves. Some students says that after plus-two they had no choice but to join correspondence school because the results came out late. They preferred to stay on in other city and do other things simultan-eously, rather than sit at home and do nothing."

One of them says he joined correspondence college completely out of choice. "I had to see to my family business so there was no way I could have attended a regular college," he says.

What does correspondence studies mean to people?
Most of students confess that it is frustrating and stagnating. Others,however, say that it gives them an opportunity to explore alternative career options. Most take up jobs, and are well on the way to building successful careers by the time their courses are over. The trick is in not letting circumstances weigh you down, but making stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.
