Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Photography has emerged as an innovative tool for promoting literacy, providing a visual medium that complements traditional methods of teaching and learning. In Keffi Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, where literacy rates face challenges due to limited resources and access to quality education, photography offers an engaging and inclusive approach to education. Images can serve as catalysts for learning by sparking curiosity, aiding comprehension, and fostering creativity, particularly in environments where language barriers or limited reading materials exist. Globally, visual literacy initiatives have demonstrated the ability of photography to bridge educational gaps, particularly in rural or underserved communities. However, in Keffi, the integration of photography into literacy programs remains sporadic, with little emphasis on its potential to enhance teaching methodologies or inspire learners. This study explores the role of photography in promoting literacy, emphasizing its application as a learning tool and a means of fostering educational inclusivity in Keffi.
