Accreditation — Britain's contribution to correspondence tuition

Abstract

What is the reaction to education by correspondence? Some know little or nothing about it. Others are resentfully critical of a form of education which they regard as unnecessary and which attracts students away from the face‐to‐face tuition which they could receive in college. There are also those who reflect gratefully on the help and guidance they have received from correspondence colleges in acquiring professional and academic qualifications or cultural interests which have made a great difference to their prospects and satisfaction in life. Whatever the reaction of individuals may be, it is not sufficiently realised that education by correspondence is a major educational activity in this country.
