This article addresses a growing problem in Colombia: insufficient educational support in rural areas, associated with social factors such as the armed conflict, lack of government support, and scarcity of economic opportunities. The study focuses on education, specifically on the importance and influence of financial and accounting knowledge in people's lives. The central objective of the research is to assess the implementation of radio education as a solution to overcome this educational gap. A qualitative research methodology was used, including literature review, analysis of successful cases in other countries, and evaluation of the experience as a case. The most relevant findings highlight the benefits of radio education in access to accounting education in rural areas and its contribution to acquiring fundamental knowledge to improve their economic and personal activities. In conclusion, radio accounting education is a favorable strategy to provide educational development opportunities in rural areas, promote equity and empowerment of its inhabitants, and represent a platform rich in opportunities.
