Abstract

The major objectives of universities, both conventional and distance education, is to make higher,vocational,cultural,life-long and professional education available to a large group of interested people. These universities should also try to present special attention to the disadvantaged groups, particularly the people of far - away towns, rural and women. We all aware of this reality that the conventional system is too narrow to popularize education equally for all people, and they have not been so successful in this field because of some limitations and complex interactions, such as financial, political factors, fanatic-religious ideas, cultural and traditional beliefs, language constraint, lack of suitable technologies and pedagogies and so on. Unfortunately, considering several countries in Asia and Africa, the women are the most severely under - represented in the above fields of education.
