Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Child education is one of the fundamental pillars of development, yet many regions in Nigeria, particularly rural areas like Kafin Hausa LGA in Jigawa State, continue to face challenges in achieving high enrollment rates and educational attainment for children. The lack of awareness about the importance of education, especially for girls, and the socio-economic barriers to education, such as poverty and cultural norms, continue to hinder progress. Advertising has emerged as a powerful tool to promote social causes, including education. Research by Ajayi et al. (2023) suggests that targeted advertising campaigns can raise awareness, change attitudes, and encourage behaviors that support educational initiatives. This study examines the role of advertising in promoting awareness of child education in Kafin Hausa LGA, focusing on how advertising campaigns can increase community involvement and foster a culture of education.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite various government and non-governmental efforts to improve child education in Kafin Hausa LGA, there remains a significant gap in enrollment and completion rates, particularly among girls. This issue is compounded by limited awareness about the benefits of education and the available resources to support families in sending their children to school. While advertising campaigns have been used to promote health, safety, and other social causes, the specific impact of advertising on promoting child education in Kafin Hausa LGA has not been thoroughly explored. This study seeks to assess the effectiveness of advertising in raising awareness about the importance of child education in the region and its potential to drive positive changes in attitudes and behaviors.
