Thanks for posting, Mela! I think it's unfortunate that development communication researchers and practitioners are not as focused on education as they were a few decades ago. I remember chatting about this with Prof. Bob Hornik, one of the world's leading scholars in this area (and an incredible teacher, I might add) and he said that empirical evidence supporting demonstrable gains in this area had been found in past evaluation work. I hope education makes a comeback!
