Radio Education for Out-of-School Zambian Children

Oswald and Everest Attend Third Grade

Oswald and Everest are in Grade 3 at Chainda Community School and already have completed two years of the "Learning at Taonga Market" interactive radio instruction program.

Mentors, Not Teachers, Teach Children

Many teachers have died from AIDS in Zambia, so volunteer "mentors" are trained to teach the children via Interactive Radio Instruction (IRI), developed by EDC in Washington, D.C.

Learning Colors on the Wall

Few resources exist in community schools that use Freeplay Lifeline radios for distance learning. Here, Mr. Tembo, a mentor, employs a classroom wall as a substitute for a blackboard.

School Is Fun, Even Without Enough Desks

The radio education program has proved so successful that children and their parents are eager for them to attend school, even if there aren't enough desks.
