EDC is an institution committed to providing access to quality and affordable education to the youth and adults in Swaziland through open and distance learning.

MODE OF DELIVERY: The method of instruction at EDC is through distance learning. Currently the courses are disseminated through print. Study materials are prepared following the syllabus used in conventional schools, whose content for each subject is covered in a number of workbooks. These study materials are usually supplied by EDC during registration.

The workbooks contain both study materials and guidance in the use of prescribed textbooks. The contents include practical exercises with answers so that the students can check their progress. These self-check practice exercises are most important in assisting students to learn and remember. The workbooks also contain tests which are answered and sent back to EDC for marking.
