![Openness should not just be a strategy or marketing ploy.
It is embodied in every aspect of the university and the people
who work, study and engage with us.
At The Open University we’re always redefining what ‘open’
means in theory and in practice to provide genuine equality of
opportunity as people seek to learn and live. […]
Our challenge to the wider education sector is to embrace the
different interpretations of open, and how they benefit learners
and society more broadly.
