Abstract

Education all over the world is of paramount importance as it provides economies with opportunities for development and growth. Education is important for both – developed and developing economies – for the former to maintain their lead position and for the latter to ensure decent livelihood and utilization of natural resources. In such a situation, education needs to continuously upgrade itself to meet the ever changing needs of the economy, society and mankind. Hence, understanding education reviewing the developments, methods and standards are important if all stakeholders have to be satisfied. With globalization of education and the bent towards professional courses, Distance Education (DE) is established and is being more and more sought after. However, adopting academic strategies which will have mutual recognition across the world ensure holistic development and aid to maintain standards and quality of DE, is crucial need of the hour. The proposed paper aims to address these issues.
