Description

On 13 November 1970, Afghanistan launched a radio-based education program to reach rural communities lacking access to formal schooling. Lessons included basic literacy, agricultural tips, and public health information. Radios were distributed through village councils to encourage community learning. The program helped bridge educational gaps in remote regions. It also laid groundwork for future distance-learning initiatives.
