Abstract:- The present investigation has been conducted to study the teachers’ perception about ODL system. The ODL system distinct from traditional education system and an open concept education system that offer an opportunity for everyone to study and attain degree credentials irrespective of age, qualification, race, creed etc. In modern time higher education demand is gradually increasing. To fulfil that demand, ODL system as well as traditional education system has gradually occupied a major role. In the early 1990s, only 5% of the total eligible population enrolled in higher education institutions of India. But as per AISHE (all India survey in higher education-2011-12) total enrolment in higher education has been estimated to be 28.56 million, among that distance enrolment 12.5% of the total enrolment in higher education. The study involved one hundred and twenty (120) secondary school teachers who are randomly selected. The collected data are analysed with suitable statistical techniques such as mean and percentile. The results indicate that very few teachers thought that ODL system is not enough for modern educational demand. On the other hand, most of the teachers think that ODL and formal education- both are essential for fulfil the huge modern educational demand.
Key Words: – Modern Educational Demand, Teachers, Traditional Education System, ODL System.
I. INTRODUCTION
Time to time there has various changes in education. We all know that education has three medium like -formal, informal and non-formal. ODL system is one of the vital criteria of non-formal education. In educational literature, the study of Non-formal systems often mentions “open systems”, “alternative education”, “distance learning”, “non-conventional studies”, among other terms. In some cases these are employed as synonyms, whereas in others, there is no agreement as to their meanings, making it impossible to reach a consensus for their concepts.
Formal education system is inadequate to effectively meet the needs of the individual and the society. The need to offer more and better education at all levels, to a growing number of people, particularly in developing countries, the scant success of current formal education systems to meet all such demands, has shown the need to develop alternatives to learning.
