Background of the Study
Radio programming has long been recognized as an effective tool for advancing education in rural and underserved communities. In Chikun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kaduna State, where access to formal education may be limited in remote areas, radio serves as an essential source of information and a means of delivering educational content (Musa et al., 2023). Educational radio programs in Chikun LGA address a wide range of issues, from promoting literacy and numeracy to providing career guidance and awareness on critical societal topics such as health and gender equality. Radio’s widespread accessibility and low-cost nature make it a particularly valuable medium for reaching marginalized groups who may lack access to formal educational institutions (Waziri et al., 2024). Despite its potential, the actual impact of radio programming on educational advancement in Chikun LGA has not been fully studied. This research seeks to explore how radio programming influences educational outcomes in the region and the extent to which it contributes to learning opportunities for students and adults alike.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
