Radio School is the flagship education project of the South Saharan Social Development Organization (SSDO), funded by the MacArthur Foundation. The project was implemented in Enugu and Adamawa States in collaboration with the Centre for Public Education and Mobilization for Development in Nigeria (CEPAD-Nigeria).
The project was initially designed to cover 17 schools in Enugu State and 21 schools in Adamawa State. However, due to its relevance and impact, the governments of both states scaled up the intervention to reach all 150 secondary schools in Adamawa State and all 292 secondary schools in Enugu State.
For implementation and coordination purposes, the schools in Enugu State are grouped under education zones, while those in Adamawa State are organized according to senatorial zones.
The Radio School Project aims to improve learning outcomes for junior secondary school students (JSS2) by delivering accessible, curriculum-aligned lessons in English, Mathematics, Basic Science, and Civic Education through radio broadcast. By leveraging radio as a widely available learning platform, the project seeks to strengthen students’ foundational knowledge, enhance teaching support in underserved communities, and ensure continuity of learning regardless of geographical or socioeconomic barriers.
