Abstrakt
This study looks at how open and remote learning affects underserved groups. It focuses on case studies and successful methods that show good examples of teaching communities that face discrimination or are not like most people. The goal is to review these examples and learn from them, like the most important things that affect how well open and remote learning works for these communities. It also helps us understand the difficulties these communities face and how to deal with them. The aim is to give clear understanding into making and carrying out open and remote learning programmes for these communities in ways that can last and make real change. In summary, the key results of the study show the programme improved access and achievements but more is needed on career preparation, closing socioeconomic gaps, bolstering technology skills training, and creating emergency-responsive solutions in the wartime environment.
