In most developing countries, the access to education on all levels is limited while the quality of education is generally poor. Open and distance teaching and learning (ODL) methodologies, blending and integrating traditional distance education technologies with consolidated information and communication technologies (ICT) can play a substantial role in stepping up the quantity and quality of education provision in these countries, particularly in Africa. These opportunities are not yet fully, if at all, exploited in any level of most national education systems.
