Nag-aalok ng Knowledge Channel's lesson ang ABS-CBN corporation sa gobyerno para sa mga bata upang maiwasan ang COVID-19.

Ayon pa dito ay maaaring umabot sa 7.6 milyon na mga estudyante ang mag-e-enroll ngayong taon.

Ayon sa Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) director Edric Calma “Knowledge Channel is prepared to work with the government. We have created and acquired more than a thousand video lessons, all based on the K-12 curriculum of the Department of Education and these are ready for use,”

Sa loob ng 21 taon ng KCFI ay nakapag-develop at nakakuha ng acquired multimedia educational materials para sa public school nationwide. Lalo na sa mga liblib na lugar at naipapalabas sila sa Knowledge Channel na ginagamit din sa pagtuturo ng KCFI ng mga nasa bahay lang.

Ngayon mapapanuod ang mga palabas ng ABS-CBN sa Knowledge Channel aired over SKYcable, SKYdirect, ABS-CBN TVplus at iba pang cable at direct to home satellite TV providers.

Ayon kay Calma, ang KCFI ay nakapag-develop ng 50 percent video format ng most essential learning competencies (MELC) na required ng DepEd.

Pinag-aralan at isiniwalat ng DLSU La Sallian Institute for Development and Educational Research at UP Statistical Center for Research Foundation’s Impact Study for Proficient Measures for Quality Education na ang Knowledge Channel video lessons ay lubos na makatutulong para sa mga batang mag-aaral.

“The most essential learning competencies are the minimum curriculum-prescribed skills that students must acquire,” ayon kay Calma

“Subjects like mathematics and the sciences involve understanding of processes, and they need to be visually illustrated for kids to understand with this kind of curriculum, we need TV.”

“Children’s critical thinking and creativity are triggered by video lessons because we challenge them with questions at the beginning, halfway through and at the end of the episode,” Dagdag pa nito.

Ayon naman kay Alice Panares na halos 900, 000 na mga estudyante ang naka-depende sa online class ngayon darating na Agosto. Kaya ang isa mga paraan upang masolusyunan ang ganitong problema ay ibinatid ni Panares ang Knowledge Channel para sa mga bata.

“While the teachers are being trained, why not tap first the lessons of Knowledge Channel since it already has existing materials, Knowledge Channel has done a very complete work in educating the students in different areas.”aniya

Sumang-ayon naman ang KCFI president at executive director Rina Lopez Bautista na bigyan ng pagkakataon para makatulong sa mga mag-aaral ngayong taon Saad niya, “We believe that learning must continue for all and that no child should be left behind. We appeal to our lawmakers and the Filipino people to recognize ABS-CBN’s contributions to education and that ABS-CBN is granted a new franchise so that we can again reach the children no matter where they are in the Philippines. The Knowledge Channel Foundation continues, and will be working to continue to be in the service of Filipino children.”
