Some students at the Open University left school 20 years ago. Others are younger but all must be at least 21 years old. 54.This is one example of how the Open University is different from all other universities. Its students must either work full time or be at home all day, for example, mothers of families. They don’t be able to pass any examination before they are accepted as students. This is why the university is called “ open”. The university was started in order to help a known group people who missed having a university education when they were young.
The first name for the Open University was “ The University of the Air”. 55.The idea was to teach “ On the air”, in other words on radio and television. But its student also receives advice at one of 283 centers in the county. 36 weeks of the year he has to send written work to a “ tutor(指导教师), the person who guides his studies. He must also spend 3 weeks every summer as a full time student. Tutors and teachers meet and study together, as in other universities. At the end of the Open University’s first year, the results were good. 3 or 4 students passed their examinations. If they do this every year, they will finish their studies in 4 or 5 years.
