Millions of Filipino students, their parents, and teachers will welcome the new school year with continued support in distance education as curriculum-based video lessons developed by Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. begin airing on A2Z and Knowledge Channel on SKYcable, Cignal, GSat, SatLite, PCTA cable affiliates, and soon on Beam DTT. The videos cover subjects taught to students from Kinder to Grade 10 and of the Alternative Learning System (ALS).
Lessons for Grade 1 students start at 6:00 AM on Knowledge Channel and at 7:00 AM on A2Z from Monday to Friday. Among the subjects taught are Filipino and English with Knowledge Channel shows “Wikaharian” and “Ready, Set, Read.” Produced under the foundation’s “Basa Bilang” advocacy, these programs aim to help young students to improve their foundational skills in literacy. Other show schedules are available on Knowledge Channel’s official Facebook page.
