Put Knowledge Channel back on air — ACT
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines said that in the spirit of upholding press freedom and the people’s right to information as well as the media’s role in education amid the COVID-19 pandemic, it backs the Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc.’s bid to extend its services and resources to the Department of Education as the public education system shifts to remote learning in response to the pandemic.
In its 21 years on air, it provided access to learning opportunities to 7.3 million households — up until the franchise renewal of its owner, the ABS-CBN Corp., was denied by Congress early this year. “The ill-equipped education system is already grappling with the requisites for distance learning modalities coupled with the development of materials in line with the streamlined K-12 curriculum called the Most Essential Learning Competencies ,” said ACT.
