The Tribhuvan University (TU) that adopted the semester system at the master´s level since last year is now mulling Open and Distance Learning System (ODLS) at the TU Central Campus.

Organizing a press conference on Monday, the TU officials said learning through the use of telecommunication has already been implemented in the Education Faculty, said TU Rector Guna Nudhi Neupane.“The ODLS will be introduced in the Valley-based constituent colleges once we run it sucessfully at the central campus,” he added.

According to Neupane, though the country´s oldest varsity is being criticized for its failure to maintain the academic year since 2006, the semester and the distance learning system is expected to be effective.
