Georgetown : The recently launched 24-hour learning channel will be received in Amerindian communities within one month President Bharrat Jagdeo said.
“The kids, whether you live in Aishalton or Paramakatoi or any part of the country, can see the remedial math lessons, science, english and all of the other programmes now run on the learning channel that we just established,” President Jagdeo said at the opening of Amerindian Heritage Month.
The station was established at a cost of just under US$1M which covered the cost of the infrastructure while additional sums were spent on the content that is being aired on a 24-hour basis.
Apart from content focusing on the school curriculum, the channel also airs special programmes with pertinent information on HIV/AIDS, maternal health, diabetes, hypertension, road safety and other such issues.
The learning channel is a satellite broadcast system with content targeting to a primary and secondary audience of pre-schoolers, kindergartners, primary and secondary school students, early school leavers, life-long learners, parents, educators, farmers and other individuals interested in instructional education programmes in their preferred area of interest.
