Fellow wazuans, i am seriously considering for an undergraduate course by distance learning. Preferably in an European University or India. Is there anyone who's got experience in these issues. I am self employed and i am not seeking it for employment but with the new world order..... read entry into politics and Board of director positions, i may need it for future progression and networking purposes. Please enlighten me on how these things work.

Try University of London-External Program. They have a wide range of courses and highly acclaimed. Forget India unless u want to go into politics in future and only need the papers for IEBC clearance

The partner institution in Kenya is Centre for Open and Distance Education located 2nd floor Kasneb towers, upperhill. The cordinator is Mr. Joe Mwangi Mbuthia.

Ignou is a public university in India founder under an act of parliament 1985 and the largest open university in the world.

Check more details about it from India High Commission or Commission of University Education.

True but most employers/boards don't care!!! They don't have the time to sort the good from the bad and ugly!!! I have sat in shortlisting and interviewing committees/boards where any Indian degree/masters was dismissed out of hand! Avoid Indian Universities!

How many Cabinet Secretaries have Indian qualifications? Principal secretaries? Non-Asian CEOs, MDs etc.??

What you are saying @Burningspear is true but the reality on the ground is different. @Zenge hopes to join a board one day. That might be difficult with an Indian degree!!!
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

If you are an accomplished professional in your field, known to turn around business, has achieved alot: you shouldnt be worried because you have an Indian qualification. The moment Kenya will move from the beauty of the papers got to more solid innovative and skilled individuals, Kenya will move faster to vision 2030.
