‘Speaking Up for Distance Learners’ Campaign Launched by The NEC
As an organisation working with distance learners every day, the National Extension College knows that a small number of changes could make a big difference to thousands of people and help the government make progress in achieving its higher education and skills objectives.
The practical solutions they advocate will benefit all learners who are studying at a distance, including young people being educated at home and adult learners.
On 1 November at the Houses of Parliament, NEC launched ‘Speaking up for distance learners’, a new campaign that addresses the five major barriers faced by distance learning students sitting GCSE’s and A levels.
