Communication Media in Education for Low-Income Countries: Implications for Planning. Fundamentals of Educational Planning--29.
McAnany, Emile G.; Mayo, John K.
This booklet discusses, in the context of low-income countries, a series of planning issues bridging education and communication. The planning issues include the democratization of educational opportunity, the quality of instruction and learning, the impact of education through technology on rural areas, and the participation of people in their own education. Each of these issues is discussed in light of evidence from four case studies and from other sources. Much of the text is devoted to four relatively successful applications of communication media for education and development. Three case studies involve the use of radio: extended learning in the Dominican Republic, qualitative improvement of mathematics teaching in Nicaragua, and community action in Tanzania. The fourth study looks at the experimental use of satellite television broadcasting in India. The authors show how cost estimates depend on the level of technology adopted and on the context of its use. Conclusions and recommendations for planners close the report. (Author/MLF)
