The Open University in Britain

1 In 1963 the leader of the Labour Party made aspeech explaining plans for a “ university of the air”-an educational system which would make use of television， radio and correspondence courses. Many people laughed at the idea， but it became part of the Labour Party s programme to giveeducational opportunity to those people who， for onereason or another， had not had a chance to receivefurther education.

2 By 1969 plans were well advanced and byAugust 1970 the Open University， as it is now called， had received 400，000 applications. Only 25，000 could be accepted for the four “foundation” courses offered： social sciences， arts， science and mathematics. Unsuccessfulcandidates were told to apply again the following year， when a foundation course in technology would also be offered.

3 The first teaching programmes appeared on theair and screen in January 1971， with clerks， farm workers， housewives， teachers， policemen and many others asstudents. Correspondence units had been carefully prepared and science studentswere given devices for a small home laboratory. Study centers have been set upall over the country so that students can attend once a week， and once a year they will spend a week at one of the university ssummer schools.

4 It has been nearly 30 years since the OpenUniversity started to offer courses. Now it is a very important part of theBritish educational system. Not only does it offer foundation courses likethose mentioned above， it also carries out veryadvanced scientific researches， some of which lead toMaster s or PH.D Degrees. Many other countries have started similar educationalprogrammes following the successful example of the Open University in Britain.
