‘Radioenseñanza’ an educational experience for adults through radio in Huelva at the end of Francoism

Abstract

‘Radioenseñanza’ was an interesting experience carried out in the province of Huelva (Spain) over two academic years before the 1970 education law (Ley General de Educación). It was organised by the new broadcasting company ‘Radio Popular’ in collaboration with the local administration of the Ministry of Education at the end of Francoism. This activity was developed with didactic resources published by ‘Radio ECCA’, which had started broadcasting for educational purposes on the Canary Islands with the Jesuit priest Francisco Villén Lucena a few years before in 1965. Despite its benefits for the population, this fruitful experience had to finish early just two years after it started, due to some disagreements (mainly of an economic nature) between the broadcasting company and the education administration. The aim of this article is to outline the origins, dissemination and scope of this brief experience in the province of Huelva.
