dc.description.abstractFrom the inception of broadcasting in Nigeria, radio and television programmes have been deliberately designed and delivered to enhance teaching and learning across various areas of interest and subjects within the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, catering to formal, informal and non-formal levels of education. Thus, the focus of this chapter is to discuss the benefits, constraints and prospects of educational broadcasting in Nigeria. The paper adopts the document search to achieve its objectives. It discussed the importance, significance of educational broadcasting and its challenges. It concluded that educational broadcasting has a number of benefits such that educational broadcasting is relatively cheaper to deliver education because a single radio or television programme could reach learners in different geographical locations including difficult or impossible terrains and territories. Educational broadcasting can deliver formal education to places where teachers cannot go due to lack of access roads, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, unrests as well as scarcity of schools and teachers at minimal cost. However, the challenges of educational broadcasting in Nigeria include it weakness due to the absence of effective collaboration between formal education managers and broadcasters in the areas of policy framework, regulation, content quality control, funding and sustainability. Another challenge confronting the delivery of formal education through educational broadcasting is the pro-entertainment disposition of the broadcast industry in Nigeria.
