This program, presented by Patrick Fayia Kanty, Alfred Sahr Sellu, and Tamba Maturi, addresses the critical issue of poor exam performance and limited educational opportunities in Bo, Sierra Leone. We propose the establishment of a Learning Zone, utilizing qualified teachers to deliver quality educational content via radio. Our initiative aims to enhance learning outcomes, especially in underprivileged communities, by supplementing school education and bridging the gap between rural and urban learners. Our completed work includes developing the idea, engaging schools, creating a radio partnership, and launching a weekly show.
