After rough pandemic run, DepEd TV revived with new partners
The Department of Education (DepEd) has revived DepEd TV, its educational broadcast platform, through a new partnership with the Knowledge Channel Foundation Inc. (KCFI) and Solar Pictures, Inc.
The program, initially launched in 2020 to ensure learning continuity during the pandemic, had previously ceased operations due to internal pay disputes and aired its last broadcast in 2022.
This revival aims to address learning loss and provide educational continuity amidst ongoing climate- and weather-related disruptions that affect classes.
Under the agreement, KCFI will contribute educational materials aligned with the national curriculum, while Solar Pictures will manage a dedicated digital terrestrial television channel for DepEd TV programs.
Education Secretary Sonny Angara stated that this initiative supports the goal of making education systems more adaptive, especially as natural disasters continue to disrupt learning across the country.
