Criticism from Dropped-out students is one of the big chailleges we face in the distance learning programme due to inability to pay school fees.
This is not for the private distance learning institutions alone but including the private Primary and Secondary School as well.
The basic issue regarding ths crictism is the inability to pay school fees and dropped out and then go about scandalizing the name of the school as fake in case of distance learning programme or the teachers are not performing well in case of Priviate Primary and Secondary Schools.
Such scandal is very rare by School dropped-out in Public Government schools like in the Universities and Polytechnics.
For example, parent send their child to school "A" as a private school and withdraw the child to school "B" after failing to pay school fees and then would go about criticizing all the teachers in school "A" that they are not performing well and later withdraw from school "B" to public Government school as could not afford to pay school fees with all the debts incurred from school "A" to "B" and including all the blame poured on the teachers for not performing well but conseal the debts incurred.
Classroom Lecturers in distance learning programme has this disadvantage of being scandalized quite unlike home based students. The classroom student is seen going out for lecture and when he or she stops attending due to none payment of accumulated school fees start going about scandalizing the name of the school as fake to discourage others from enrollment in order to take away his or her shame but conseal the debts incurred but cannot scandalized public school for example if he or she dropped out from the university due to some financial challenges.
But that is not the case with the home based student who study in the privacy of his or her home. No body ask question about the school since no body see him or her attending lectures.
So home based study protects both the image of the school and the student untill graduation and even though he or she dropped out of school due to unavoidable circumstances.
