WHAT IS THE TLI UNIT?
The TLI Unit is one of the three executing
arms of the Board for Non-Campus Countries and Distance Education established in August
1996 to promote, manage and deliver the work of the University in the non-campus countries
and in off-campus centres and tertiary institutions in the campus countries. The School of
Continuing Studies and the Distance Education Centre are the other two entities
responsible for University Outreach. The Chairman of the Board for Non-Campus Countries
and Distance Education is Pro-Vice-Chancellor Woodville Marshall.
WHAT IS
THE MISSION OF THE TLI?
The fundamental mission of the TLI Unit is to
enhance access to tertiary education in the region by linking the University’s
resources, programmes and services to the development of tertiary education institutions
in non-campus countries in the region and to those located off-campus in the campus
countries. The TLI Unit is guided by the objectives of the Board for Non-Campus Countries
and Distance Education and as such plans its activities and programmes to promote:
- the planned development of tertiary institutions so as to
increase output of graduates to support the human resource development needs of the
region;
- curriculum reform for improving the quality and
effectiveness of graduates;
- expansion of certificate/diploma/ degree and continuing
education programmes, and extension activities in response to national and regional
priority needs not currently addressed;
- rationalization of the further development of tertiary level
programmes for students in the non-campus countries and for off-campus students in campus
countries.
WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE TLI
UNIT?
The main objectives of the TLI Unit include:
- to manage articulation arrangements and processes between UWI and
other regional Tertiary Level Institutions (TLIs);
- to promote institutional development of regional TLIs, thus enhancing
their capacity to deliver portions of or full degree programmes;
- to undertake research designed to improve tertiary level development,
and
- to design, procure funds for and manage special projects to address
identified tertiary education development needs.
