Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Education is a fundamental driver of socio-economic development, yet many communities in Nigeria struggle with access to quality education. In Yola South LGA, Adamawa State, community-based education programs aim to address educational disparities by involving local stakeholders. Public Relations (PR) is essential in promoting these initiatives through awareness campaigns, stakeholder engagement, and fostering community ownership.
PR strategies such as partnerships with local leaders, radio broadcasts, and digital campaigns have been shown to increase enrollment and support for education programs (Okafor & Musa, 2024). This study investigates how PR can enhance community-based education programs in Yola South LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite the presence of community-based education programs, challenges such as low awareness, cultural resistance, and inadequate resources hinder their success in Yola South LGA. The lack of effective PR strategies exacerbates these issues, limiting program impact. This study explores the role of PR in addressing these challenges and improving educational outcomes.
