The Academy will combine traditional distance learning materials with internet-based tutorial and face to face sessions in a range of subjects to students of all ages.

The ‘Open Learning Academy’ initiative is an effort to provide free learning with the ultimate goal of helping regional development of the northeast India in a way accessible to the people. The initiative will rely on the Open Training Platform, a UNESCO-driven hub offering free training resources on a wide range of development topics, fostering cooperation to provide free and open content for development.

UNESCO has launched this platform on the internet to make available training and capacity-building programmes and resources. These are developed by a variety of stakeholders worldwide in a wide range of subjects, including literacy, computers, business, environment, community development and much more.
