Speaking during a visit to LeadMode International Distance Learning Centre, a centre that represents some leading universities in Europe, the don stressed the need for distance learning.

According to him, “Distance Learning gives students a great opportunity to continue in their full time profession whilst gaining additional qualifications from respected, world leading institutions. In this respect, students are given the opportunity to study over a number of years to account for their busy careers and often family lives.”
