School Hits the Airwaves: Sierra Leone Turns to Education Radio as a Response to COVID-19
Format
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Sierra Leone s experience with education radio during the 2014 Ebola outbreak has helped strengthen its radio programming during school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
To ensure radio lessons are interactive and engaging, radio lessons comprise 30 minutes of lectures and 30 minutes of interacting with teachers by phone.
This model of rapid response in an educational emergency can be easily scaled up and replicated by other countries, even in low-resource settings.

We ve seen this in countries like Colombia, Liberia, Malaysia, and Rwanda, among others.
