It’s hard to believe, but yes, there is. And it has already helped around 15,000 students complete their education. Shai Reshef is the person who started this university after getting overwhelmed by current illiteracy rate worldwide and the difficulties people face in completing their higher education. The university is called the University of the People. Shai Reshef kept in mind mainly those people who are unable to get access to education due to certain circumstances. They are refugees, poor people, older ones who left studies previously, and so on. The university gives free education to all such people.
Apart from all these people there are many who can’t afford higher education due to their job as all universities require attendance. But Shai Reshef’s university allows you the access to education without attending any class on fixed timings, without paying any fee, and without buying any books.
The University of the People is the online Open University which enrolls students from every corner of the world, give them online classes and reward degrees for the course too. This American University started by the entrepreneur Shai Reshef allows you distance learning totally free of cost.
