Despite these high returns, enrollment in early childhood education is just 18 percent across Africa, with disproportionately high enrollment from children in urban areas and from wealthier families. Interactive Audio Instruction (IAI) is a distance learning technology that can deliver low-cost, culturally appropriate education via radio or mobile audio technology. It is a highly effective tool to reach children who can be hard to reach through conventional programs, including the rural poor and children with disabilities. IAI can also be an effective form of service delivery in unstable and conflict-affected regions.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACTIVE LEARNINGACTIVE LEARNING METHODSADULTSASSESSMENT TOOLSAVERAGE CLASS SIZEBROADCASTERSBROADCASTINGBUSINESS LEADERSCALLCAREGIVERSCHILD CARECHILD CARE CENTERSCHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILD SURVIVALCHILDREN WITH ACCESSCHILDREN WITH DISABILITIESCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCLASSROOMCLASSROOM SETTINGCLASSROOM TEACHERCLASSROOM TEACHERSCLASSROOMSCOLLABORATIONCOLLEGESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNITY RADIOCOMMUNITY RADIO STATIONSCONTENT CREATIONCONTEXTUAL FACTORSCOST PER STUDENTCURRICULACURRICULAR OBJECTIVESCURRICULUMCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTDATA COLLECTIONDEMONSTRATIONDISADVANTAGED CHILDRENDISTANCE EDUCATIONDISTANCE LEARNINGEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENTEARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONEARLY CHILDHOOD INTERVENTIONSEARLY CHILDHOOD LEARNINGEARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMMINGEARLY EDUCATIONEARLY GRADESEARLY LEARNINGEARLY LITERACYECONOMICS OF EDUCATIONEDUCATION AGENCIESEDUCATION DEVELOPMENTEDUCATION FOR CHILDRENEDUCATION INFRASTRUCTUREEDUCATION MATERIALSEDUCATION PROGRAMSEDUCATION TARGETSEDUCATIONAL QUALITYEDUCATIONAL RADIOEDUCATIONAL RESOURCESEDUCATORSEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONENROLLMENTEXPERIMENTAL SCHOOLSFIRST GRADEFORMAL EDUCATIONFORMAL EDUCATION SYSTEMFORMAL SCHOOLINGFORMATIVE EVALUATIONGENDER ISSUESGIRLSGROUP LEARNINGHEAD TEACHERSHUMAN RESOURCESINSTRUCTIONINSTRUCTIONAL CONTENTINSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNINSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALSINTERACTIVE RADIOINTERACTIVE RADIO INSTRUCTIONINTERVENTIONSKINDERGARTENLABOR FORCELANGUAGE ACQUISITIONLANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTIONLANGUAGE POLICIESLANGUAGE POLICYLEARNERSLEARNINGLEARNING CENTERSLEARNING ENVIRONMENTSLEARNING GOALSLEARNING INITIATIVESLEARNING MATERIALSLEARNING OPPORTUNITIESLEARNING OUTCOMESLEARNING PROCESSLEARNING RESOURCESLEVELS OF EDUCATIONLIBRARIESLIFE SKILLSLITERACYLITERATUREMANUALSMATHEMATICS CURRICULUMMEDIAMEDIUM OF INSTRUCTIONMENTORSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMOTHER TONGUEMULTIGRADE CLASSROOMSNATIONAL CURRICULANATIONAL CURRICULUMNATIONAL LANGUAGENUMBER OF STUDENTSNUMERACYNUTRITIONOFFICIAL CURRICULUMOPEN LEARNINGPARENT SUPPORTPEDAGOGYPERFORMANCE OF STUDENTSPHONESPOSITIVE FEEDBACKPRE -SCHOOL PROGRAMSPRESCHOOL CHILDRENPRESCHOOL CURRICULUMPRESCHOOL EDUCATIONPRESCHOOL ENROLLMENTPRESCHOOL TEACHERSPRESCHOOLERSPRIMARY CLASSROOMSPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY EDUCATION PROJECTPRIMARY GRADEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL ENROLLMENTPRIMARY STUDENTPRIMARY TEACHERSPRINTINGPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTPURCHASING POWERQUALITY ASSURANCEQUALITY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATIONQUALITY INSTRUCTIONQUALITY OF TEACHINGQUALITY STANDARDSRADIORADIO BROADCASTSRADIO STATIONREADINGRELIGIOUS EDUCATIONRESEARCH FINDINGSRESEARCH METHODSSCHOOL CLASSROOMSSCHOOL ENTRYSCHOOL MANAGEMENTSCHOOL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEESSCHOOL NETWORKSSCHOOL READINESSSCHOOL TEACHERSSCHOOL YEARSCHOOLSSECOND LANGUAGESKILL LEVELSSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL SKILLSSOCIAL STUDIESSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTSTUDENT ENROLLMENTSTUDENT LEARNINGSTUDENT PERFORMANCESTUDENT REPETITIONSUMMATIVE EVALUATIONSUPPLEMENTARY MATERIALSTEACHERTEACHER GUIDESTEACHER TRAININGTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSTEACHINGTEACHING OBJECTIVESTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL EXPERTISETECHNICAL EXPERTSTECHNICIANSTECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENTTECHNOLOGY USERSTEST ADMINISTRATIONTEXTBOOKSTRADITIONAL APPROACHTRAINING COSTSTRAINING FOR TEACHERSTRAINING MATERIALSTRAINING PROGRAMSTRAINING TEACHERSTUTORINGUNTRAINED TEACHERSVOCATIONAL TRAININGVULNERABLE CHILDREN10.1596/21623
