The mode of distance education started with the correspondence courses in which learning material was sent to the students and learners by post. But this method proved to be very costly and delays occured in delivering the learning material so another mode of distance education was found to be of the radio. The radio started in countries both developed and the developing began to devote some time to the education of learners. The University Grants Commission of India provided the very useful programme for delving lessons on various subjects on radio and television. The western world has established satellites for providing education to its learners. The developing countries are also trying to set up radio and the television centres especially for educational progress. Because of the fact that the developing countries are short of funds to provide infrastructure for distance education the speed with which they are providing distance education is not very quick. But even then countries like India are trying to create infrastructure for distance education to the students of higher education and to the students of secondary schools. 268 pp.
