IMPACT OF MASS MEDIA ON UNIVERSAL
BASIC EDUCATION
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background to the Study
Mass
media is regarded as the eye and hear of the people. The mass media which
comprise of newspaper, television and radio as well as magazine help the
populace to be aware of the various events near and far away.
The
media is inseparable with the society because of the numerous roles they play
in our society.
The
mass media are very powerful socializing agents. The media which mainly
newspaper, magazine as well as radio and television reach large heterogeneous
and widely dispersed audiences. It is
axiomatic that the mass media can reach million of people over huge areas very
quickly even from the other side of the world by spreading news, information,
entertainment and propaganda, persuade us to buy certain things or to change
over opinion on various matters.
Indeed
mass media represent a powerful tool socializing. Mass media through their
different programme increased the level of literacy in society by provide
educative programme for the people especially radio and television provide
educative programmes that teach. The media do not only transmit information and
messages but also provide visual oriented (Picture) of government activities
like Universal Basic Education programme e. t. c. The government and other
organization use the mass media to communicate with the public. The mass media
do not only teach, publish and transmit news on events they provide opportunity
for the people to express their feelings about any credibility, accountability
of government or show their grievances to any government actions.
The
media equally teach the individual or public the norms and values of society
reinforces norms and values. The media are therefore useful as political
instruments of socialization. The activities of major newspaper, magazine,
radio, television have further stipulated that the survival of any social
system in a country depends largely on mass media.
Functions of Mass Media
Harold
Lasswell {1984} lists four different roles which mass media perform: They are
Entertainment Function
Informative Function
Correlation of the Environment
Transmission of Cultural Heritage
On
the other hand, Universal Basic Education (UBE) Programme is an educational
programme aimed at eradicating illiteracy, ignorance and poverty. It is in
compliance with the Declaration of the World Conference on Education for All
(WCEFA) which was made in Jomtien, Thailand in 1990, and Bating clearly in
Article 1 that every person – child, Youth on Adult – shall be able to benefit
from educational opportunities designed to meet their basic needs. This
declaration was reaffirmed at the World Summit for Children held in 1990, which
stated that all children should have access to basic education by the year
2000. The World Summit for Children placed a lot of emphasis on raising the
levels of female literacy. In a bid to achieve education goals, the Dakar World
Education Forum was held as a follow-up meeting to the WCEFA where new sets of
goals were set to be attained by the year 2015. The goals include: 1. Expanding
and improving comprehensive early childhood care and education, especially for
the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children.
According
to the Universal Basic Education Commission Bulletin (UBEC) (2004), the
objectives of the programme, among others, include: Developing in the entire
citizenry a strong consciousness for education and a strong commitment to its
vigorous promotion; The provision of free, universal basic education for every
Nigerian child of school-going age; reducing drastically the incidence of
drop-outs from the formal school system (through improved relevance, quality
and efficiency); and ensuring the acquisition of appropriate levels of
literacy, numeracy, manipulative, communicative and life skills, as well as
ethical, moral and civic values needed for laying a solid foundation for life-long
learning.
Universal
Basic’ Education (UBE) was formally launched by President Olusegun Obasanjo on
30th September 1999. The UBE programme is intended to be universal, free and
compulsory. According to the implementation guidelines for the Universal Basic
Education programme published by the Federal Ministry of Education Abuja, in
February. 2000, due attention would be given to public enlightenment and social
mobilization.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Basically,
this research focuses its attention on the role of mass media on Universal
Basic Education programme. It is believed that mass media, being a powerful
tool of socialization has the ability to set agents for the public and reach
wider audience. Mass media is a platform to teach both moral and social
lessons. But today it seems that educational role of mass media is fading off
as media managements are now using the time and space dedicated for education
programmes on air to fill political programmes and advertisement especially now
that government is demanding media to generate certain percentage of money to
run the media activities.
As
a result of the above fact, this work examines whether mass media is actually
able to perform its role in educational development or not. and due to
inability to study all mass media in Nigeria, Ede North Local Government is the
case study.
