The global novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitated an immediate change in surgical education and cessation of face-to-face education brought about a new era, the era of distance education. Distance education comprises a range of platforms that provide illustrations, case-based learning, procedural skills, and comprehensive course curricula, allowing real-time interactions between users for an immediate exchange of information. On the other hand, for most surgeons and surgical educators, distance education is new and confusing. It can be frustrating when students do not complete an online training session or drop out of a learning module. In this article, the key concepts behind distance education, strategic tools for planning, and content design were explained and easy-to-apply recommendations in light of the current literature were provided. Additionally, the status of distance education in Turkey has been evaluated considering the recent developments in distance surgical education.

“…The people of Lesotho have peace as a common interest to which many domestic stakeholders have bene working towards achieving it. Liberalism supposes that multilateralism is a vehicle through which peace in the international political system could be affirmed (Toprak, 2018, p. 49). In line with Liberalism, Namibia participated in the peace-making process in Lesotho, under an umbrella of a multilateral organisation, SADC, to bring about the peace that the Basotho were yearning for.…”

This article discusses aspects of Namibia’s foreign policy principles and how they impact on the values of democracy, and issue of peace and security in the region. The article will focus on the attainment of peace in Angola, democratisation of South Africa, and security situations in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Madagascar and Lesotho. The main question of this article is: To what extent has Namibia realised the objectives encapsulated in her foreign policy principles of striving for international peace and security and promote the values of democracy in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region? The assumption is that though relatively a newly established state, Namibia has made her contribution towards democracy, peace and security in the Southern Africa region and the world at large.

The expansion of distance education in higher education world-wide has brought forth the issue of quality assurance and evaluation processes for institutions and programmes. Though quality is a perception about the performance in products and services offered, it is expected to be shaped through mutual consent in the eyes of internal and external stakeholders of the institutions. Despite the different needs, social contexts and cultures of higher education institutions, general standards have been developed to guide distance education providers in their quest. This paper concentrates on external evaluation pillar of quality assurance that is accreditation according to American, European and Asian perspectives and tries to explain the shared understanding about quality in higher education in the face of cultural diversity. A case-study, the quality journey of Anadolu University, Open Education System is described as an example of different ways leading to the same target.
