Popis:	In this article, the authors describe the establishment of Bangladesh Open University (BOU) which was set up to offer both tertiary and secondary school equivalency programmes. They explain how the university was set up to serve those who were excluded from the traditional education system and those who had dropped out. They outline how the plans changed during the course of development and why. The authors conclude that the experience of BOU in meeting a wide range of formal and non-formal, academic and vocational education for large numbers of students could serve as a model for the development of distance education in other Third World settings.
