During the COVID-19 pandemic, schools were forced to close, forcing educational institutions to embrace innovative means of delivering lessons to students. However, many schools, especially government-owned schools in Nigeria, could not swiftly adapt to the internet-dependent mode of teaching students. ACE Radio School, an alternative form of education, was initiated to provide learning to school children without access to remote learning. This seminar explores the research conducted around understanding the factors responsible for the receptiveness of ACE Radio School in Northern Nigeria. The speakers will discuss what factors should be considered for successful design and implementation of educational interventions in the region. Additionally, the speakers will highlight how alternative education can be effective and viable solution to solving the out-of-school crises in Nigeria.
