Özet: Bangladesh has resource constraints for ensuring education for every citizen. In the last decade, after the commencement of Bangladesh Open University (BOU), open and distance learning (ODL) has become the most reliable means to combine accessibility and affordability for the individual. It is also a cost effective means for the providers. BOU’s mandate is to provide needs-based and cost-effective education it doesn’t at all levels whether formal or nonformal mode ranging from school level to tertiary level. ODL providers need support services which help reduce the issues of isolation, lack in motivation or inability to self-motivate. This Paper examines the concept of community ownership of ODL centers and how this can work in partnership distance education settings where the citizenry believes that government has to provide all things at the school level. This Paper also discusses the arrangements of tutorial services in ODL centers in relation to sustainability.
