Scope

Ph.D. in education (DNFE) is the highest degree in this field that aims at producing research analysts and professional educational planners at the local and national levels. The role of this degree in distance education has been quite positive in a country like ours to improve the literacy rate. People with this degree have planned and developed distance education institutes at various levels to provide education opportunities to various people. Therefore, the scope of this degree has been good in our country due to preferred distance education in many areas that don’t have enough secondary and higher secondary schools. However, now the scope of this degree has been raised to a higher level. The government education planning departments need more research specialists to devise a plan according to the ongoing situation of the pandemic. Conventional face-to-face education has seen total lockdown and converted towards distance education through media. The people with degrees in DNFE are now in high demand to support E-learning. Therefore, the scope of Ph.D. education (DNFE) has been increased in private and government educational institutes to integrate conventional and distance education properly.
