To help students and teachers prepare for the annual National Achievement Test (NAT), K Channel has started airing NAT reviewers or shows with topics that are normally asked in the said examination.
NAT is a set of standardized tests addressing the major subjects taught in school. It is yearly administered by Department of Education’s National Educational Testing and Research Center (NETRC). This year, it will be given to Grades 3 and 6 and 4th year high school students to test their knowledge and mastery of level-appropriate Mathematics, Science, Communication Skills, and Araling Panlipunan.
Based on the outcome assessment on K Channel connected schools conducted by the UP Statistical Research Center, K Channel contributes to a 3% increase in NAT scores when viewed and used regularly and effectively. In order to reap its benefits, students and teachers are encouraged to watch K Channel from Monday to Friday at 12:00-12:20pm (Grade 3), 12:20-12:40pm (Grade 6), and 12:40-1:00pm (4th year) and at 4:00-4:20pm (Grade 3), 4:20-4:40pm (Grade 6) and 4:40-5:00pm (4th year). The NAT review on K Channel runs from January to March.
K Channel aims to reach not just NAT takers but all learners nationwide. Donations will help K Channel continuously expand and provide better service to all learners
