By Ibrahim Musa Kallah

In a bid to address the pressing issue of out-of-school children in Katsina State, stakeholders have emphasized the need for a collaborative effort to ensure the success of the Radio School Program. The program, supported by a nongovernmental organisation (NGO), Community Aid Connect, in partnership with the state agency for mass education, aims to reduce the number of out-of-school children in the state through a digital literacy program.

Implemented in 34 local government areas across 107 selected centers, the program targets Islamiya schools with a one-hour literacy education program. The initiative is part of a broader effort to address the issue of out-of-school children in seven states within the Northwest zone, including Katsina.
