ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of television educational programme on children. One hundred and eighty respondents were randomly selected for the study in Enugu Sate and questionnaires were distributed to them. To accomplish this task, the following hypothesis were tested.

The tabularized and percentage statistical technique was used to test the above –formulated hypothesis. After a carefully analysis, it was discovered that three of the formulated hypotheses received statistical support while the remaining one upheld the null hypothesis. Based on the above findings, the researchers recommended among other things, that there is need for N.T.A. Channel 8 Enugu to bring back to our television educational programme that w-ill improve the standard of the education in the state. The researchers also suggest that for a more valid appraisals of this research a similar study should be carried out in other parts of the country.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Education in Nigeria today, has assumed a very important position in the country’s development programme. This accounts for the introduction of the universal free primary education (U.P.E.) in 1976 and the establishment of new primary, secondary and post secondary schools all over the country.

Education could be defined in various ways. In a very broad sense, education includes every agency, which enables an individual to master his physical and social environment of which he is a member. But for the purpose of this education will be defined as an organized and formal instruction, which is given in educational establishments such as schools, colleges and universities.

Education has an important role to play in the economy of a nation. The most important economic function as that of ensuring that the nation’s need for a labour force is satisfied.

However, formal education in Nigeria is no longer confirmed to education establishments only. The mass media have, in recent times, taken a held and positive step towards enhancing educational development in the country. An example is that Enugu State Broadcasting (ESBS)

Mass media communication comprised the institutions and techniques by which specialized groups employ technological devices, that is the press, TV, Radio, Film ETC, to disseminate information to large heterogeneous and widely disperse audience.

This study is particularly concerned with TV and its contribution to educational advancement in the country especially Enugu state.

Television Broadcasting was first established in Nigeria (indeed Africa) on October 31^st1956 in Ibadan, by the their government of the western region of Nigeria.

This station now called Nigeria Television Ibadan (NTA Ibadan) was run as an aim of the former western Nigeria government Broadcasting corporation initially under the trading name western Nigeria Radio services limited, in partnership with oversees rediffusion limited of U.K

Two years after its inception, the regional Government bought over the shares of the foreign partners, and became the proprietor. A year after the establishment of the Ibadan station, the former government of Eastern Nigeria, in October 1960, set up the second Nigeria Television service then known as ENTV.

This later become NTA Enugu shortly after, on 1967 the Northern Region Government established a television station as an aim of the Broadcasting company of Northern Nigeria (BCNN) located in Kaduna, the station was known as Radio Kaduna Television (RKTV) and was also owned jointly by the regional government and a British Television Company. The Federal Government in 1962, established its own station, the Nigeria Television service (NTS) under a management agreement with an American Network. This services was confirmed to the federal capital, and soon came under the Nigeria Broadcasting corporation, (NBC) when the management contract with the Americans was determined.

The advert of television brought with it a new dimension to broadcasting in Africa within the first decade of its arrival twenty –two African countries established their own television stations.

The creation of states in Nigeria meant that the new state administrators could set- up television net works in their states. The old government of the Mid-Western states in 1973 went ahead by establishing the Mid-West Television (MTV) now NTA Benin, but emerged, transmitting in colour. It therefore becomes the first station in the country to broadcast in colour.

In 1975, the federal military government announced its intention to take over television station in Nigeria. It then set up a machinery within the federal ministry of information t give effect to its plan. At this time, ten stations, Ibadan, Enugu, Kaduna, Lagos, Benin, Jos, Port –Harcourt, Kano, Sokoto and Owerri (Aba), in order had been set-up the Nigeria Television Authority was finally inaugurated in May, 1977 although Decree 24 of 1977 which establish it was promulgated in March 1977 but effect from April 1976. by that Decree the Nigeria Television Authority become the only body empowered to undertake televisions broadcasting in the country, indeed the federal government has begun to fund all the station from the first April, 1976, when networking of news also commenced of Nigeria Television, Via Domestic Satellite (Domsat).

The enabling low stipulates that NTA be independent and impartial: Its programming and coverage polices should therefore be available oriented, but guided by the nation’s social, political , moral cultural, scientific, educational and economic goals.

The purpose of programme objections in dual, firstly, it facilitates, the monitoring of programmes on the basis of a recognized fame of reference and secondly, it serves to focus the producers mind on the purpose of the programme he is making.
