It then reviews other developing countries' use of radio as a means to transmit numeracy, literacy, and other basic skills. It concludes by examining what a sample curriculum for Afghanistan might look like. Throughout the report, it notes possible problems with and probable limits to attempts to use radio as a learning tool.
