Basically in any educational communication, for making it more persuasive and effective visual aids are very important. In the case of radio, if an educational program is broadcast then the people who do not have good listening skills cannot understand it. There are a lot of people who want visual aids like whiteboards, multimedia presentations or hard copies to better understand the discussion. Lack of visual aids is the major disadvantage of radio in educational communication. Moreover, body language also plays a very significant role in understanding the point of view of the other person and it is not viewable in radio communication.

The speaker just continue the discussion regardless, anyone has missed a point or not. Therefore, radio is having a lot of disadvantages for any educational communication.
