School Radio: Finding Innovation in Reaching Remote Learners in Belize
Kirshner, Jean Denison
International Journal of Education and Literacy Studies, v8 n3 p90-97 Jul 2020
This case study on Belize educators during the COVID-19 school closures examines the innovative approach the educators of this country took. As many schools across the globe swiftly pivoted to online learning during the COVID-19 school closures, the educators of Belize recognized that digital learning would leave out their marginalized students who did not have internet connectivity. Instead, the educators of Belize drew on the history of their country, using school radio to reach their youngest citizens located in remote locations without internet. This innovative solution, reaching students in villages without internet, required the collaboration of Belize's teachers and radio broadcasters.
