Paper Title
Challenges of Distance Learning Strategies in National Teachers Institute in Nigeria

Abstract
Distance learning is an evolution in the process of learning which strives to accommodate those setbacks that would have otherwise discouraged aspiring learners from continuing. The NTI with its mandate on teaching preparation readily embraced distance learning in a number of programmes one of which is the Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE). This paper takes a look at the strategies used in the programme and the challenges they face as well as strategies not yet in use. Suggestions were made for the remediation of the situation and improvement of the status of the programme Keywords- Distance learning, programme, challenges, strategies, National Teachers institute (NTI) Post Graduate Diploma in Education (PGDE)
