As a child, I remember watching a special on TV about how children across the globe go to school.
What struck me than (and has re-surfaced now) was when they showed how children in the remote parts of the Australian outback "attended school".
Basically, they did everything via radio. E.g. the teacher would say "Here is a problem. Bobby, what is the answer? Great! Now Mary, what is the answer to the homework problem #7 from last night?"
My mother went to school this way in Fiji. They'd be assigned school work (the teacher would talk to each student individually over the radio). Parents would mail in their work and the teacher would mark it and announce the results over the radio, walking each child through their mistakes. The entire country could listen in as you had your maths corrected lol.
By the time I was in primary school, there were 1hr afternoon broadcasts for our age group once a week, but it was no longer about individual learning... there were just too many kids by then. It was still great fun as everyone in our class would gather around the teachers battered old radio and listen to great stories from history, and other such things.
