| dc.description.abstract | The Kenyan education system has very limited re-entry options for
learners who drop out before attaining secondary school certificate.
It is very difficult to access training and or secure a job that requires
at least secondary school education. This study examined the
prospects of initiating Open and Distance e-Learning(ODeL) in re entry programmes into high school for out of school Young Adult
Secondary School Dropouts (Y.A.S.S.D). The study focused on the
enablers and challenges of initiating ODeL in the secondary school
re-entry programmes. An alternative flexible and sustainable
community based ODeL model that potentially can address re-entry
for the Y.A.S.S.D is proposed. A qualitative phenomenological design
was used; focus group discussion and interviews were conducted
from a purposeful sample of participants. The study revealed that
the potential of ODeL in addressing re-entry into secondary school
for Y.A.S.S.D great. Majority of the participants were aware of the
existing secondary school re-entry options, however, ODeL appeared
new. Despite there being challenges in introducing the ODeL mode
of study in secondary school re-entry programmes, it is viable and
requires further exploration. The enablers of this mode of study are
largely in place to the extent appreciated by participants in the study | en_US |
