CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- Background of the Study
Political education is a process through which individuals or groups of citizens are thought on the aim of embarking on politics and the gain achieved from such in a persuasive and convincing mood to lure them into participation for such as it will help to build and organized healthy and peaceful community, state, country and the world at large.
According to one of the political activists, Anthony Gramsci (1891 – 1937) “The ruling class or party through agent of socialization (e.g. radio) indoctrinated others their beliefs systems and values towards politics”. This emphasizes more on the need and the advantages of radio in helping to educating people (women in the rural area). Democracy stands as the most widely embraced systems in politics and government of the people, by the people.
The more information and education on the importance of political participation are made known of the rural women, the more interest, sympathy and joy they derive from participating in it by the greater extent of the knowledge they acquire about it.
