The study also identifies several challenges and gaps in the literature, including issues related to OER quality and sustainability, faculty adoption, and institutional support. The review concludes with recommendations for policymakers, administrators, and educators on how to effectively implement and promote the use of OERs in higher education to improve affordability and accessibility. Overall, the study highlights the importance of OERs as a means of promoting affordable and accessible higher education, and calls for continued research and development in this area
