Govt to Introduce Open Education Plan
The Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES) is introducing the Open School Education Programme (OSEP) from the next academic year with a view to providing opportunity to those who have not been able to complete their school education due to various reasons.
The students having two years gap after passing their grade 8 are eligible for the open education programme and will be able to sit for the School Leaving Certificate examination next year.
The government is piloting the OSEP through distance mode in five schools of different development regions from Mid April 2007. The schools are yet to be fixed. Each school will have only 35 students. A total of 175 school dropouts will be benefited from this programme.
