This policy sets minimum quality standards under which universities, other than those that specialize in distance education, would be allowed to offer education through online and distance learning modes. The ultimate objective is to protect the interest of students, while providing them with an opportunity to access affordable educational resources.
Clarification: This policy does not obligate every university to provide online and distance education but provides the policy framework for those universities wanting to use those modes, in addition to their offerings in the traditional in-person mode.
