- “Case Studies of Non-Formal Education by Distance and Open Learning”:
This consultancy research report will be useful to people involved or interested in the planning, development and implementation of non-formal education programmes because of the useful lessons it offers. The case studies in this report demonstrate the potential and importance of distance learning approaches in enhancing the contribution of non-formal education to socio-economic development in Africa.
For example, the Zambia Radio Farm Forum programme enables the Ministry
of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries to reach larger numbers of peasant
farmers than is possible through other extension services. The Radio
Farm Forum programme helps over 21,000 small-scale farmers/peasants in
rural areas, who listen and participate in the programme, to learn new
knowledge and develop new skills. In the Ghanaian case study, the use of
radio strengthened the coverage, by the literacy programme, of the
functional and developmental themes.
The study was funded by the British Department for International
Development and was edited by Professor Richard Siaciwena, Directorate
of Distance Education, The University of Zambia. 148 pages
