Institute of Distance Education (IDE). IDE came
into existence as a result of the national educational
demands. In view of inherent constraints in admissions
to the full-time courses on campus, the University
of Eswatini (UNESWA) established the Institute of
Distance Education (IDE) in 1994. The aim of the IDE
is to offer higher eduacation programmes, through the
distance education mode, for the benefit of all those
who had been deprived of the opportunity, for one
reason or the other, to enter the mainstream education,
and thus its motto is: “Taking the University education
and professional programmes to the people rather than
the people coming to the University.” The Institute of
Distance Education follows the multimedia system and
provides printed course materials to the learners and
arranges limited face-to-face sessions through lecturing
and tutorial sessions.
