    Addressing the Problem of Drop – Out from the National Correspondence College in Zambia
    (2004-07) Makunka, Cosmas Katye
    PCF3 // The study looked at a few selected provinces in Zambia in particular (Central, Copperbelt and Lusaka) National Correspondence College (NCC) drop - outs of 1990,1991,1992,1993 and 1994. It investigated the courses of dropping out from the NCC Distance Education Courses using the appended questionnaire. Research findings from other cultural contexts and this study were used to make recommendations on indicated measures to alleviate the problem of drop - out from the NCC secondary education programme. // The main courses of drop - out are student demotivation and irregularity in the NCC administration. The reason for these courses is lack of funds and resources. It is recommended that the Government give money to enable the college to purchase all the necessary requisites to enable the college to produce the lessons. This will enhance learning at the NCC. It was also strongly recommended that NCC get decentralized. It is hoped that this will be a solution to enhance effective communication between the students and the NCC (i.e. lecturers and tutors). // It was also recommended that the NCC staff should undertake further studies in distance education, to enable them to appreciate the role of distance education in Zambia.
